detonating reason

detonating reason

several minutes dead

then you became the oxygen

the resuscitation as lips burned back to life

eyes blinked in serendipitous wonder

you came from a past that had extinguished itself

in latent sorrow fields

but the dead don't bury themselves in love

it is premature burial, 

i saw you in my peripheral mirror

and kissed back

blue turned to crimson insight

incited into combustion

we exploded against a purple moon

exaggerated indifference became passion's shrapnel

and we became bits and pieces

of each other's soul

when heaven couldn't begin

to define itself.

i saw you in my peripheral mirror
and kissed back,

What came next was indeed an explosion of passion, blue to crimson, what a colour change. Sometimes it happens like that, and if it does, how incredibly exciting.

Great work Jacob

we exploded against a purple moon
exaggerated indifference became passion's shrapnel

the games people play in love just heighten the peaks of passion, fan the flames. These are the good things in life. It was a pleasure to read your poetry today sir.
