Rewind 'till your Blind

The space between

words wounded,

a black

a seclusive

infinity

divided-

between each cell in my 

aching

body

the emptiness that baffles physicists

that emptiness between each living cell

it stretches between the stars, too

(alone now)

all astral bodies pull against gravity

for company

in that black and empty void of

lonesomeness

just like we do

and isn't it beautiful

that two stars orbiting one another will

share the same light

just like we do. 

Remember when

your eyes met mine

as dusty monarch's took flight inside

the stillness of this moment

captured and framed on my wall

I wish I could drawn into 

your second dimension 

Where espresso kissed goodnight

forever.

I'll admit to the divide

But not the life you severed.

If it exists---

(Do we still exist)

In the eye of a temporal stormy

endeavor

Tidal as the Oklahoma weather-

I watched a shooting star and

wished for you

Like I always do,

on the petals of dandelions

set to dance in grace with my lips exhaled

to the autumn wind

I thought I remembered-

back there, somewhere

In a time we barely shared

the whisky twilight of a love that poured into the envelopes of letters i'd later write

into the finite

of a human forever;

I swore you sang me a love song then,

But I guess some people just chew with their mouth's open

And I guess I can forgive

that tiny social faux paux.

You create these vast spaces... wild open places of love and longing... and yet you paint them in the most intimate of colors... Now... I read your thoughts... put them on the shelves in me... and wish you the deepest, happiest of new years...

[Franky]

This is terrific. Sounds professional. I am impressed. Very romantic too.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

I am not sure I know you...or if I know myself....but my mind sounds these words of your like places I lived, people I knew...things I ve felt.

You know why scars don't bleed when you pick at them?...
because the body forgives and forgets that it reinforced wounded regrets.

Life is not suffering Consciousness is.

and I am a weather vane.

Good write.

Are you sure you didn't mean You're?

[Kristallo]

I can't be sure of anything at all anymore. I hope that's really you, Seth, and if it is- Thank you for reading.

.. You will always be a good writer in my eyes.. Remember, you are not forgotten.

[Nancy A Halbert]

Excellent. Nice images and heartfelt feeling.

It has been awhile... Beautiful, as always. It causes me to look back on memories both bitter and sweet. Some long ago and some only a few months old. There is something familiar in your word usage, like I have read it before; or maybe I'm just remembering...

To retract life. Can lead us to places we need to forget.
"I thought I remembered-
back there, somewhere
In a time we barely shared

The above lines were solid. Forever gets re-defined with age. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

"Forever gets redefined with age." That is very wise, i'm going to remember it. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I need to check out your writing, it's been too long. :)
