You were like my sore
cheek,
From grimacing too hard in abstract
denial of the unknown,
Such fear gripping the inner lining of
the clouds.
And the wind,
Like a cluster of life scripts dangling
from eye tears and sweetened attachments to reconciliation.
I was called, not into the blue haze of
darkness
but into the hole of asunder.
but into the hole of asunder.
With fragmented light sparks exclaiming
their ever blinding presence in my ever captured mind.
You, swept in like a trickle down a
rain gutter and watched from afar as my weary arms dripped parts of my heart,
melting sweltering drops of
serendipity.
And I came closer.
You took three shots of bravado and
breathed in my returned reciprocity, willing to establish any boundary I came near with striking
clarity.
You listened as I laughed, full of
bitter defilement and skin wrenching panic.
Watching still again as my face contorted into self-improvement and decayed attempts to redesign perfection.
Watching still again as my face contorted into self-improvement and decayed attempts to redesign perfection.
Yet, I still came closer.
I replaced longevity with something even longer; perpetuation and soon you began to smile at me.

You are my road, and the only one I
know.
