Once And Forever

 

 

 

Once And Forever

 

 

Like the early word

that gets the squirm

the morning, of lost interludes

between fate

and hollow

lays

still

in its fast

waiting to break

through the membrane

of its maidenhood

lingering, for a

 whispered silence,

a feather of air

against the collar

of her quivering,

along the outer peel

of her erect nuzzling

beget by geese

underneath

the moist bumps

that tremble and strain

to break through

and fly

away from her parched

and breathless

skin

that keeps the

embodiment

of her virtuality

intact

and soft,

within.

 

And so

the rhythm of conception,

she continues.

 

A memoir of matter

and blood of

energy,

this, procreation of

need

and instinct

seen through

flowing sheers of

intricacy

framed

by the soft shards

of windowed

pain,

and pleasure.

 

It was

always to be,

of such

circles.

 

Aureoles of sigh

on chests heaving

toward the sky,

bands of

gold

purring melodies

around fingers,

ovals of puckered

lips

mouthing delicacies

of affection;

orbs, of eyes that glisten

and twitch

in dream,

never, passing

without a pause

to glance,

and remember;

the shape

of a tear

as it falls

onto the pillow

cooling the blush

beneath a lone,

star filled night.

 

A circle, a circle

is also

a zero.

 

Which is how I

feel

sometimes,

without you.

 

A story where

the beginning,

and the end

are the same.

 

Like you,

a perfection

of symmetry

and balance,

of harmony

and

artistry.

 

A fantasy

unabridged

over a sea

of no promises,

a fairytale

of infinite,

in a wind up

music box

that chose,

to keep

dancing.

 

Life is sometimes

not

getting what you want,

but receiving

what you

deserve,

I guess.

 

You never have to

say goodbye

to someone

if that person gives you

a part of them

to take with you

and keep,

as part of how you

see

and feel things

around you,

forever.

 

It’s taken me a long

time

to understand,

how hard it is

lose something

you never even,

had.

 

It’s kind of hard to forget

someone though

when sky and the ocean

remind you

of them,

and like the sea,

I keep holding

and holding

on,

but the water

within my

hands,

she is gone

she is,

gone.

 

Nothing left

in my grip

but the salt

of tears

that slipped

and memories

of you

lingering

in my veins.

 

How do you disremember

 someone

when they once wrote

inside your heart,

where the breeze of their words,

once

and forever blew.

 

I’ve spent so much

time

trying to figure out

the universe,

with all its

beauty

and wonderment.

 

It’s a pretty big poem though

but I’m working my way

through it,

one star at a time

though hope filled

eyes

of notion

and wish.

 

The universe

is a blindingly dark

and beautifully

unfair

place,

filled with

an elegance

of mystery

and an edge

of circumstance.

 

The cosmos

in and of itself

never

really will

make true sense.

 

That’s why

it invented,

us.

 

Me and you.

 

We are

the chosen,

in this blink

of kingdom come

that will

be done

to speak

for

the eternities

to make reason

and meaning

of its whole

purpose,

to justify

and validate

its discrimination

and its

justness,

its oppression

and its

tolerance,

its utter agony

and its full

compassion,

its venomous bite

of hate

and its,

unconditional kiss

of forgiveness

through the shouts of your

soft scream

piercing the vastness, near

and beyond,

of me

of me,

forever,

within you.

You know what. This is probably the first poem I've read on this site, that's actually kept my interest really well. I love how it's written, and I love what it's talking about.

Great job!

[Ursula Kay Vos]

That was the epitomy of a love lost so true so eternal once great once complete. The flow took me with the words to a place I have tried to bury, you know the place because that I have to believe is where you wrote this poem from. This place was when I was getting over my first true love, the one you never forget. The one that stays with you. This poem was so complete I was completley there while still feeling the love for my current boyfriend who I am deeply in love with. It was an amazing write that was so profound it provoked deep emotion. Very very nice. Thank you.
