I see my reflection
through the tangles
from the window
of her eye, suppose
she’s figured out the angles
I’ve been playing,
oh but she’s the kind of femme fatale
worth saving, because lately
there’s a wall built higher than my own good
for, protection
oh but how it all comes crumbling down
the instant, she walks in
where dying in her arms I’m happy
I was never ready
but always willing,
unable to refuse
the volume of the moon.
Every single day
She reminds me
Life’s worthwhile
All that I want now
is to see what’s just beyond
the other side
of that golden mountain range,
because I’m done with alleyways
and there’s nothing left behind.

in the bosom of her love,
while she gazed at the clouds
which seemed to shiver.

would surely mean
death.

suggests something supernatural or uncanny
and that feeling this way,
unsettled and mysterious to even yourself
is an extraordinary occasion for
growth and development?
Well it is, and for that, I applaud you
on this ability of estrangement
we so often take for granted, though I
take as a blessing, because you are a blessing.
When the changes you make
need no validation,
you’re moving in the right direction.
It takes many self destructions
for a man to realize
there is nothing so meaningless
as to destroy what he has yet to understand.
