Xerox Clone

'Reflective Xerox'

You're staring at me
             but you don't see
you're here with me
yet blind as
    monotone obscurity
I rest my soul
upon your elbow
as you prop it
         on my heart

I fluttered by
          your pursed lips,
        your gulping dialogue
           devours me
      what of the light fails
          to engulf lucidity
 only sheer ambiguity

I am not an enigma
 with my relish worn open
you slam the door
 on sensitivity
 and any inclination
deep within your frozen posture

    I thought i heard a sigh
could have been the flapping
 of butterfly wings
escaping from frigid
              implacable vessels
I bore my own effects
             and obstructions whilst

I fell into
 your unappeasable eyes
                without protection,
with an insatiable hunger
          for enkindled unions

Your view mirrored
              a parallel self
yet they were slated orbs
                    of tarnished dust
   unwilling in malcontent
 to square
              an act of trust
seethed within
            a leap of faith

Unfortunately there are too many guys like the one you describe here. I sometimes think the true reason for the lack of love in this world is that men and women are so afraid of love that they let the best years of their lives go by in hiding . . . and when they realize their mistake, it's too late. I love your imagery here--you knew what you were talking about

I will agree with you there, we all come with so much baggage and fear, that's what I was trying to say, some will take another chance, then there are those that live in fear of connection forever. Thanks Kailor.

Very ghostly, naming the butterflies, as they stand for
past souls....

I am flabbergasted by your genious words
And cloned imaginations here dear sis :)

I think yes, in life and afterlife... I'm a person who never ereases the past, without that, I can't move on as healed as possible... each periode is a treasure XX :)

"yet they were slated orbs
of tarnished dust

"I rest my soul
upon your elbow
as you prop it
on my heart" - bloody fantabulous!

One final question... What are you doing with such a frozen rigid relic? Dump him!

[Frieda P]

LOL! Your reviews always make me stop and laugh, scream or cry! ;-P

Thanks so much Divya!

[David Scott]

... A leap of faith, yet only with the clone...
Great insurance.
Loved the write!
It is a place to start testing the waters.

[Frieda P]

You need two to tango those seas, thanks for your thoughts David, much appreciated...
