The average lifespan of a housefly
Is 40 to 50 days
And I am merely sitting here idly watching
Them move about my window.
I
Wonder if they would prefer to be outside.
With every blink of my eyes
Time moves faster for the fly than I.
The average lifespan of a housefly
Is 40 to 50 days
And I am merely sitting here idly watching
Them move about my window.
I
Wonder if they would prefer to be outside.
With every blink of my eyes
Time moves faster for the fly than I.
I see your chest rise,
An intake of breath as our eyes meet.
Drawn together
Instinctively before we can blink in recognition.
And the blood courses through my veins,
I can feel yours doing the same.
This quaking within;
An
Electrifying surge created resonates
Beyond people and places known as these Bodies come together.
Magic.
A supreme stillness overcomes my soul
And settles the melding.
We cannot stop what was set in motion
Before time itself
Nor
Do we wish to.
I was afraid to take my eyes away
For I might miss
The signs of your heart still beating.
Holding my breath;
To stay unmoving completely,
Listening so intently to you breathe.
Hanging on. Hanging on.
I blinked and you
Were gone.
I am
Quite exhausted from
Making my own fire.
Today I will
Lean back
And fall into
The
Arms of the Angels,
Letting myself be as a cloud floating
Overhead so effortlessly.
As money changes hands and the world moves
Faster
Than my eyes can blink;
I close them now, these eyes,
And sigh.
And you write it all down
Because
You cannot tear it out of your skin.
Looking to the heavens,
Waiting to hear the Angels sing.
Hemorrhaging.
Hurling yourself to the ground.
Trying to keep your eyes open as you sleep,
But your mind keeps seeing the memories every time
You
Blink.
Your head left your heart for dead
While you were
Dancing with devils in the dark.
Bargaining and begging
With yourself for love.
Feeling like you are going to pieces,
Falling apart.
You think you would do anything to empty your heart.
But you won’t.
You know you wouldn’t.
