The Solace and Wisp

What does it mean to love someone?

A meeting of eyes;

Emerald concoction of promise

The surrender of ill-will

Bellied torn, remiss but honest.

Ideals before desires

The grit of implications

Here and now, or perhaps forever

So, you say, I’m Solace, in the night

I soothe the worries and confusions

So, I say, you Wisp, moving without rigidity.

You, who can be anything at any moment,

Who is adrift but never lost,

Who has the ties to my soul?

And never fails himself.

Me, a Solace, if I would be,

I would, if I could, seal away

Those hurts piled on the shelves of your back

So, you say, know me, know my soul, and its entirety

That it is mine,

Freely given

But still with a price

I would slip the bills in between those pages sealed away,

I would kneel under your weighted pains

If a sun would rise in your eyes

If we may escape the shadows

Tangle in our woes

A cry

A whisper of finality

Of acceptance

That the Solace and The Wisp may once

Be free of the restrictions imposed by those before us

Who speak on our paths

Illuminate the truths already known, but

Harshly hide the inexplicable

When the tide drops,

The Moon spun into a pyramid

The sun shrunk to a pin point

Then may the bills, pages, and ties

Between us, fuse without a seam

I would have spent timeless amounts to dust, and care for

Those pages,

You say I am the sun, but I am not

No, nothing but a shooting star,

Only you are shooting with me

You and I are blinks of light

Here one moment,

Everywhere the next

Leave your pages behind,

Take my hand,

And let us drift.
