Dust - Space 3

Dust - Space 3

A Poem by Mai L Nissen

Letting you touch my heart,

know it’s darkest secrets;

Letting past love

and bitter memories

sweep away;

clearing the dust

solidly settled within

these harrow,

hollow walls.

 

Too full of darkness,

leaving no room for light;

Slowly I sweep

to clear a space

for the white-pale glow

of moon’s sleepy face.

 

Content to see you dance

across crooked walls;

In moon’s cold light,

near your shadow,

silent solace travels

through tunnels

in heart’s hardened,

Chalky veins.

 

Glistening sapphire stars,

my eyes in evening’s dark,

lead me through dreams

dense and dark.

I reach for your shadow,

muted and distant,

with glassy glare

that pierces.

Little quakes,

voraciously vibrate

through my heart,

harrowing up

the dusty devastation

that long years

comfortably accumulate.

 

Vision confused

by quakes

that tremble;

Reluctantly settles.

A bursting sensation;

A burning struggle;

Yearning in deep dwelling

puncture through

paralysed mime in motion,

with deafening silence

in a world shaken.

 

For a moment

all movement shackled,

and sound suffocated.

Uneasy quiet

... followed

by a distressful,

echoing sigh.

 

A fresh breath

of breezy silence,

dusty memories

swept away.

Sweeping slowly

the dense old dust

within this space

of feelings familiar.

Feelings made void

by voiceless

desires dormant;

Awoken by quakes

that shake and tremble,

familiar foundation

wears thin.

I softly sweep away

It’s vestiges

within this vessel.

.

Moon’s smile fades away;

Night’s glistening eyes

sleepily extinguish,

on the soft screen

of cloudy skies.

 

Eyes surrender

to vision of red and yellow;

In sleep I see

a shining face

ascend from beyond

emotive, liquid base.

Thank you again for taking the time to read and comment! I really appreciate it :)
Your writing trills and tempers in near alternate worded thoughts. You use fine phrasing, '.. Yearning in deep dwelling -- puncture through -- paralysed mime in motion, -- with deafening silence -- in a world shaken.'

There's a distinct sense of time past, of mood and need, of fear and passion. But then, as the pace increases - albeit quite subtly, the present is clearer but gradually more forgettable. And, the future is re-emerging into a strong, radiant reality.

"Moon’s smile fades away;
Night’s glistening eyes
