Breakup

trapped within your silence

with whom can i confide

my innervision

infused with interpretations

of false pride

i cogitate

and deliberate

on the fickle nature of our fate

rate

our current reality

to the fantasy we anticipate

fashionably late

to the premier starring you and i

and though we try

for the hereafter

we face the day after

 

seducing the sensitvity

of our sacred fire

as the limitations of our love

expires

consigned to vanity of the bonfire

acrid smoke rising

with the reprisal

of our vows

yet we exist here and now

with on one to show us how

to forgive

and forget

and disagree with self respect

once upon a dream

was the hereafter

now we live with day after

 

the wine taste rather sour

no time for it to ferment

placing alms upon the polished marble

of our altar of discontent

i am praying

while men are baying

at the light of your harvest moon

when we greet

in the heat 

of june

i wonder if our love song will be out of tune

our love that fate once begot

now like the petals 

of a forget me not

feels like hell

so very hot

but it is the end of our hereafter

and the reality of our day after

 

vermillion

cotillions

billions and billions

inhabit this wretched earth

yet only you

my dear i adore

when i open 

my hearts door

i slip on the wine

you once carelessly poured

 

am i a child 

of the dying spirit

or the clone of a living beast

our earth in the path of celestial bodies

our love will very soon cease

cant live without you

living with you intesifies my pain

ultimately true love

we defame

devolving into adversaries

passing blame

our friends cry

oh the shame

when love is a losing game

a faithless based faith

believing in the hereafter

yet dying for the day after

 

mere words can only hope 2 define

exact moments 

within the limits of time

trapped by the spectrum of light

the prism of our fears confine

are you fully aware

how much love i once pledged to thee

do you know the fates once  shouted

beware

of weaving my love to your destiny

now what becomes of me

i cant see

the man

or the cross

a faithless faith now lost

never again

will i pen 

visions of the hereafter

when our love expired 

the day after

Two

2 have and have not

2 forgive and be forgot

2 pick passion fruit and see passion quickly rot

2 cast

upon love past a dubious lot

2 be the victim of loves devilish plot

2 love you

love you not

depending upon the petals of a forget me not

2 begin 

 

 

as lovers

2 end

as friends

2 intend

yet ignore what fools in love 

portend

2 pretend

not 2 bend

when

love cant defend

2 misspend

loves dividends

when a lover offends

2 drop 

on bloody knees

2 stop

 

loves intended destiny

2 be a needle stuck

on loves phonograph

2 be present yet unwilling

2 speak on loves behalf

2 be in distress

when love not addressed

expressly on loves runaway path

2 be cast 

adfrift on loves loney sea

without a life raft

2 be a dangling participant

in love paragraph

2 ration love when trapped

in a mindless shaft

2 have and have neglect

2 forgive and yet forget

2 save loves survivors

2 survive the shipwreck

and

think

we did it all

2

love
