embrace

embrace

8-3-2012

i feel your embrace

and the conjunction of memory

sweeping me free,

living painfully

no restraints or limits

but what are walls

erect, replace and rebuild

leave me to run uphill

good, cause your face

i may never replace

but will surely find its mate

in another time, place

how beautiful your caress

when you lie at your best

and cease to interrupt rest,

moments like ruby gems

if only we were always alike

and not asleep during the night

I would never have to write

or make jokes to spite

and the moon fills the night sky

covering everything in shadow,

or delicate moonbeam like dream

I have been sucked dry, lifeblood all

bring me to another time

where we dance and skate away

with nothing but our youth

children til this very day

i imagine past landscapes

and wish to construct it all

but am left wondering withal:

where did our innocence fall?

was it like a tree split into fours

or screaming inaudibly behind doors,

the evolution of time and freedom

mind dozing , jab the inoculation

a delicate and wonderful past

will make our future to enact,

and if we live free under no pact

we may yet call ourselves a fractal

coalescing and descending beautifully

we become one as a starlight mix

no one will ever hear our moans

or our death cries in night alone

we have but data to hold together

our own worlds, our thoughts

and we are lost in a binary spout

of which it holds almighty clout

there is no god but a computer

hidden inside a delicate plastic shell

waiting for my bloodboil hell

to rip and reconstruct its well
