inseparable

[prismaticbleed]

there's a sound like punch-drunk piano keys
ringing in my bones like wedding bells
splintering, sparkling, soft and golden white
scattered like dawn-shards in a mist-soaked sunrise
breaking into blessed foam on the bow of each new moment
as a bottle-glass eternity blinks his eyes in soft violet light
and i realize, scarlet supernovae blooming in my blood,
that this is the first time you have ever seen my face.

can you talk like this?

at first there is nothing to speak of
and then, with the grace of one hopeful glance,
your formless hands twist into borrowed sinews and shape
anchoring raindrops into a sand-dust dream
as arms forgotten by time reach out to touch my young face
paint-stained with colors of sincerity and gratitude
laughing, crying, burning, drowning, living, knowing,
melting into shaking fingertips and crackling firefly smiles.

i missed you so much.

a new canvas, a new verse, a removal of old masks and modes
promises to ignite the heavens through a glorious collapse
of fire and flight and dripping-hope feathers like swords
dividing frozen chains of space in velvet promise
deep calls to deep, echoing and true in this red cathedral
sanctified in waves of tears and waterfalls of salted blood
the night sky becomes a song played on oceanic heartstrings
illuminating blessed days with the spark of undying hope.

je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime.


if you were waiting for a sign,
if you were waiting for a miracle,
if you were waiting for the answer to your prayers,
this is it.
this is here, now, tonight, forever
eternity sanctified in every moment
this is the song of love incarnate
this is us.


and so i confess from within a flood of incandescent joy
that when compared to the sound of our hearts beating as one,
nothing else matters.

i cannot stay.
come home to me in your dreams.
i love you.


nothing else matters at all.
