Abstract

Abstract Thought Through Reality

Navigating a flight of narrow twisted stairs

Winding

Ascending

Transcended

And though you've given, up

A gift to follow suit,

Inadvertently I'd unabashedly brush fingertips upon a genie's lamp,

Exhausted from all of the climbing and nepotism

Pontificating

An annoyance to avoid,

Maybe if I'd resist

If ever you'd --

Rare.

A glimpse at icebergs wandering atop the Indian River

As I stand gazing uncertain of the revealed

Or what I see amongst your skin

Unwonted feeling

Rare glimpse into your soul

Deep as soil

Rare as bioluminescent waves amongst beaches of Maldives

These ice halos or fire rainbows

An optical phenomenon

Silhouettes that lurk in shadows

Projecting

Forgetting

Absentminded, abstract Van Gogh

Specks of hues mirroring opaque,

It's rues,

Or ruffled feathers of Condors and Golden Eagles

Who are you?

Deceiving

Unaccompanied this wasn't intended to be

But for two to achieve

Beam

Elegance in light pillars

Recalling a seed that seeks escape

I mustn't debate.
