Your echoed musings complete me.
I'd forever trace your form
for love of what wherewithal
fain glints hold.
I've ascribed to our affair
mackled conceit of past selves
no longer less present,
which did despoil quixotic idylls
at hands of sincere megrim.
But in surrendering artless confessions
I've resigned veracity
and so I intimate words of candor.
Day's spells cast scoured luster
amaurotic; I forswore myself.
Life lessens lying in the flesh;
truth scrawled to save from face to face
beheld in you another one and only.
Take back the inconstant moon,
our precious etchings
but brittled stone hallows.
Leave me rapt in framed symmetry;
my heart quivers in reflection alone.
From what, undisturbed, remains,
let the world turn away.
Feebly unprepared.
Pallid.
Empty.
Vain.
Would you, self enamored, take one so
overwrought?
Loss scars the longing,
sundered into haptic woes.
Solace in blood refracted
heartens, “Go on,
loathe what in wanting became.
Cherish long-gone shortcomings,
for we make endearment
remembrance.
Will mourning eclipse obsidian
labyrinthine ways
you remorse?
Drawn anew, your eyes disclose
all that has been shed
to the brilliance
of awakening skies.”
