For WaysA Poem by Antonio Valentino
For Ways
Excuse me but what is fact, if its not merely an interpretation of certainty.
After all, besides molecules and space what do we really have left, but slant assumptions?
Iota’s of interval trapped in insight, or shreds of expanse torn clear of explanation, a crumb of while dropped on a floor of explicatory, or a dripping mouthful of margin lapped onto life's rebuttal.
Reality is an illusion that virtually, won’t go away.
I mean if there was not gravity couldn’t the ceiling not be the floor?
Maybe we change our certitudes about life a little.
Or, maybe not.
Hey these are all your principium’s on white horses people, not mine.
Why is it when we look at someone’s face we only see the outside features, instead of a whole life cradle of songs, and sadness.
These scintilla’s of shadow that form atop the skylights to her soul, or the dab of dimension on her nose, that crinkles so when she snorts, or the hints of span around the corners of her mouth, that turn up just so adorably, when you say I love you, over, and over, and over, again.
Lets fill this chasm sweet love between yesterday and tomorrow with the entire of our devotion, and sanctity.
Through the fiber of your core sweet dear I seek, your cherish.
You, with your presence effervescent, like stars can only dream of, radiate my semblance, as the darker my heart gets; seeing rainbows in mere paler shades of grey, the brighter, your smile becomes.
Everyday my thoughts float from the winds of my lungs to your lips heart, laced with silk accedence and pearls, of engagement.
And yet, it is the words, in and of themselves and the sounds they are married to, that fear you sweet love.
As they affright in humility, that even they cannot invent the right combinations of letters to describe your enchanting grace and, delectable elegance.
I wish I could promise you a world within our heart my love.
But it is cloud that is promise, isn’t it?
Whereas, it is reaping, that is rain.
And still, life itself doesn’t even promise us, to be wonderful, does it?
I wrote these words tonight on a letter of stationary and then folded it into a paper airplane.
I closed my eyes and threw it your way, so very, far away, and the moon cried, as the wind howled at that moment as it seemed to grab it and whisk it away.
It was foggy, and it was dark as loneliness. As it disappeared into the mist, hanging low, over the lake as the sun cowardly ducked off the edge of horizon.
I guess I’ll never know if my message ever made it to you or not my love.
But one thing I do know, is that if you look up high into the night and somehow, see my hand, reach out to it, and hold it tight.
Between your fingers interlaced with mine we hold there all that we ever really needed, in that space, in this time, our, promise, of love, for ways, evermore.
