Something in the weight of my thoughts

Something in the weight of my thoughts

proves me I'm the weakest creature of all,

lost in the plot of my reason against love

shot in the heart by the seasons cast from above,

so sensuously shoved upon this brittle self of mine,

this stranger related to as I

with no face to be recognized by.

Then the bliss of our words amiss

and the brightest honesty

of your eyes leaning on the brink of always

trace an endless expansion

measured by the broken rulers

of our hearty presumptions.

Now I serve toneless atonement

for the only crime of having

drowned and bathed in

your frowns and daisies

withered by the sun invading

us two helpless isles merged

in one inviolable land, together.

But brutal a blare beats

which radiates into the nothingness of

my today after the yesterday of you,

of you recomposing the forgotten

notes for this lost anthem of mine,

of you baptizing my tremors

in the flowing revelation of thine.

And then again,

something in the weight of my thoughts

reveals me the ever lurking beast of subsidence

into an abyss of tears

to be squeezed from this pounding rue,

the throbbing horror of timelessness without you.

Well said and an excellent picture of the trauma of heartbreak. I am not sure which lines sum up my last few weeks:
"which radiates into the nothingness of
my today after the yesterday of you,"
or
"the throbbing horror of timelessness without you."

Either way, I'll be back to read this one again.

I'm so glad you asked me to read this, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it. Your choice of words just works so well.

My heart just cracked under the weight of your words.
Oh my, it is aptly titled that is for sure. I could curl up and cry with this piece. Written beautifully as you do so well..

You can't see me, but I nod to you my friend.

My God, that's beautiful. Everything was perfect, the flow, the way the words grip you. Well done!!
