never got the hang in there
in a mad rush must this engage
run like a common thread the needle
poised on a blurry line lapse
rise and fall flat out of control
still got another more to wage
let's cut to the chase loose ends
add some flavor to will in the gaps
to hold me close off another chance
settle into that fast minute rage
it's bad form upon a pattern
just one or too spicy perhaps
the black crystal cracks with a thundering roar
the face of the goddess is breached
refulgence behold in the quake of this voice
as the dream of divine love is reached
the word at the start, from the abyss deep down
begins pouring out into the night
nascent echoes of cosmos within blazing storms
an explosion of absolute light
soon future burns down from celestial heights
like thousands of suns glowing red
when stars are ignited in luminous spray
we shall suffer the tiniest death
souls shine resplendent from glistering heat
for the great oblivion we thirst
blinding the frenzy of spirits enrapt
to give rise to a new universe
on borrowed time rings hollow on a rollercoaster ride
she who rises from a state of drawn-out suicide
gradual, perpetual, the slow-burn casual trauma
somehow survived that subliminal epic drama
escaped from desperate recycled anonymity
renewed with energy, goes magnetic in proximity
unleashed with just the right dose of extravagant
perfectly defect - what fuels your bafflement
why sprinkle salt on wounds like gawking from the grandstand
not so funny throwbacks to some quirky wasteland
why make her hum those off-key tunes about a time that wasn't
eerily cheery requiem for disasters measured by the dozen
assurances don't matter if they shatter with impunity
proclaim it's all the same to you then retract quietly
why execute what disputes all she constitutes
inaction betrays the words you speak in absolutes
a spectacle to celebrate
i'm grateful to participate
tonight grants me the circumstance
one glimpse into such radiance
long overdue and well deserved
next door your laughter, full of verve
and more than ever, soon at hand
first step to dream's fruition grand
however small, i did my bit
thus may you revel, fire lit
dots reconnect and strike that path
now blossom in the aftermath
awash in colors bright and true
most treasured memory of you
by afterglow in infrared
with renewed power forge ahead
