Riddles to a Swan

We filter through grays, to feel reality, churning through hearts. The gate is open, for us to swim, to stream an impulse. I bless you more, such formative years, to deny abandonment. It was never that color, as beige as parents, a field of fiction. The flowers bloom, to carry smiles, the furniture of insights; where ghosts cringe, to come alive, an impression saying, “Goodbye.” I love you pure, the days to float, sitting at a heater; to play a notion, to sing for more, stranded at a guitar; but more to flight, the throes of harmony, a hydrant as a soul; where islands blend, through instrumentals, a kettle in a basement. I’ve passed a key, the breadth of lights, a kiss for a young lady; in which is love, a ladybug tear, to wonder for the chaos. I strip a tare, to needle a feeling, to flame a sudden reach. It’s all in codes, and scented oils, to take for knees. The knife is logic, an inner knot, to know for tragic windows; where something peers, a sullen knowledge, to wonder of walking away; but must to see, this inner mirror, the language of our woes; whereat is peace, to know reality, to vet every leaf; and lifting light, to leave a dungeon, as liquid as a glass of wine.      We feel to partake, walking a lunchroom, to reject confusion; but this is venue, to sort the madness, as charged as television. I love you more, from marble to gold, to unravel a mask; where Mass is held, the bread and blood, a must to transcend. We administer music, the nerve of souls, to paint the color of peace; where hell is keen, a quicksand alley, running to the fields; in which are ways, the waves of rain, the quilt of queens. I hear you more, to sail a seed, as forward as impact; whereat is life, the taste of tears, a picture as a tent.
