Mental Mates

They met as psychics, both tilling soil—so distant this passion; to frame scars, in mental mansions, both a pair of doves.

It couldn’t be love, this glance of visions, as to pontificate a memoir; as it was for love, to push passed a dictum, as to arrive at love. He tried to see her, this fragile—but strong woman; to haunt her eyes, these diamonds grieving, as to penetrate skulls. He ached in silence, embedded in magic, a net of vibrant passions.

She loathed his soul, for hell was patient, as to destroy in increments; this velvet scar, as placed in kettles, this steam as a stream of maybes; to vacant our nights, as lonely as fools—this greenhorn position.

I speak of self, this inner love, to forfeit dementia; this flagrant force, as forever his mind, as something for value; to ski the scars, as silent servants—so desperate as righteous; to have acclaim, this vicious art, to lose it without a breath.

We cried at midnight, afraid to confess, as two partly paralyzed.

I see her blindly, to soon gain sight, as one enchanted by humans: this glorious love, as threading a book—ten friends her soul!

I cried to let go, but this is life, a series of torn events; as to purpose love, this angry seal, as too evolved to grip a sentence; where arms reach, this psychic enchant, this blatant conviction; as born to perish, to search for segue, as to hold her hand from quite a distance.

We punish love, as to punish self, but this is life: a green crystal, a vibrant star, as a heart beating through rivers; so must we live, even to retreat, gifted in silence.
