distant abstract

come dusk and fond recall, nearer distant abstract called, far from fragrant songs of old, paradigms our ghosts still hold, up with all we bear within, ahh the paradox of sin, it marks us all in stagnant time, e'er grasping at sublime, it's we who choose and chose before, scraping at eterna's door, brought fire unto fated head, not our sense of self instead, ideas wander far and out, within here and then without, they bear our truest hearts, if only at the tender start...

the complaint of a star consigned to man's perception of sun

if it's sun 

to which we are

consigned

for want of 

endless

night

then by day we'll see

our love

defined

as solvence

slipping

blight 

effect spleen

in shadow at 

the wall

a quiet plea

eternal

stays

it heeds persistent

arcane

call

flies to that

which ever

weighs

a shoulder 

to the spinning

wheel

fair skies that

don't ever

stay

for those not 

born and bread of

steel

if day defines just 

who we

are

i'll wear my

darkest

cloak

and proffer then

a little

star

to all the

sun-blind

folk

that they might see

if

fleetingly

the way it 

works in

space

we give and

take

repeatedly

that we might bring

some

grace

bound

a heavy weight to bear alone, the burdens we invent, somnambulistic mythic stone, then grace is heaven sent, from ether fallen light avail, these lips upon the heart, at sea behold the distant sails, as soul from dross departs, then across time amid the storm, become the dream you held, through loss at last transcend the norm, spirit no longer felled, and safe away in catacombs, obscure the scars we bled, it doesn't last when we're alone, it's meant for two instead, an apogee between our skins, an altitude to dare, the rarest heights attained within, more dear than breathed air, the unforgiving call of space, together mute it out, grasping at the old clock's face, beyond the shadowed doubts, intrinsic trust consumed as wine, as angel feathers fall to ground, my gift to you is all my time, unto your light forever bound
