Featured in Three Lives

If we must remember, let us live that moment, shackled to something special; our lengthened selves; our grandiose wishes; even that thing in dreams. I’m enraptured—this age—and oh so young—influenced by convergence: torn by evil; enlove with gestures; courting this belle of our ceremony; where urges become sermons, to rhapsodize of likeness, this swan experiencing our likeness. With a grimace I measure—our sheer contempt—the fluoride of our pressures; where-was, this infamous charm, one to appreciate deception; for life was grand, to love and be loved—so young to perish. We punctured stars, and dangled from exospheres, tripping and falling through Neptune. We were oh so shy, engaged in raptures, with kinetics to gaze afar. Our swan—this volt of fevers—as dancing this pause—this life; in fire this turmoil, to count twenty minutes ‘til—this internal voyage; where hate infuses, this unrequiting nuance, to receive pure sorrow; but more we live, as a think-tank for Precious, born to petition our Flame. Its cosmic love, and comet force, driven to inebriate hearts: this warming presence; our daughter’s essence; where one is despised for knowing deceit. This becomes life—to feel so grand, and realize that nothing was secret. If we must remember, let us live that moment, shackled to something special; for years blossom, a petal on a swan, but wilting partially; whereat, are confusions, where adults feel shame, for one so young was altered with guile; to which, it becomes a legend, for so many years of fomenting, where reality becomes a mourned intrusion. Oh not to shatter—thereby, to perish, roaming an internal asylum; where wages are sin, and pleasures are fabricated—this life of profane anger: the here for now; the there for comforts; even this moment as reaching with caution. I ask not for love, but rather for decency—for years have churned in pollution; whereby, the days—register in silence, this vessel becoming jaded; where love is measured—by words versus actions, where we dare to escape; but every jitter—proves insanity, where every gesture becomes a ploy.

My dearest swan, the nights are segue, pushing to rekindle daylight; for each is a cycle, reclaimed in psyches, vying for this thing of clarity; wherewith, are motives, where a future is altered, merely for a partial purpose. I can’t but see it—as one that lived it, as to hold so much in reserves; but love be gentle, and love be kind, else love is sheer deception; thereby, to rupture finally, into parts of labor, where work is required to redeem sanity.

We love so desperately, where this is not life, as to reach and force a pledge of allegiance; herewith, are truths, to scavenge every crevice, to forage every forest, if merely for redeeming illusions. I’ve come to us, as one proven stalwart, and I impart to us this mystic rope; where hearts beat, churning through realities, as to harvest the horizon; therewith, are wishes, something tamed through years, something yearning for arrivals; but sit in freedoms, awakened in silence, investigating sheer mystery.
