His halogen mind
Sheds light on everything;
Everyone.
Nothing left in the dark
As his heartbeat song
Creates a thunderous
Crash
Awakening the sleepy
Bones
Of those
Thought dead;
And on they dance.
Sparks within the mind remembering;
Oxygen expands.
Breathe.
Fire meets fire,
The blaze burns.
Love creates life;
Love and live.
On he shines.
Sitting on the front porch swing
Watching the clouds transform
As they swirl
And crash into each other;
Mixing and changing so naturally.
Separate ,
Then together.
Separate
And one.
Give and take; meld.
Never the same cloud remains
When i take my eyes away.
And they dance on
Dissapating
Becoming the air that I breathe.
I look back and they are gone;
And look back.
I can think of no other;
And even the little hairs on my body rejoice at the thought of you,
Reaching for you
As you come near.
The heat at my center spreads
And the words fail to fall from my lips;
They cannot make the connection from my mind to my heart
Crashing into one another
In the rush to embrace all of you.
All the particles of us disperse
As night and day disappear
Bursting forth at our touch.
Creation.
This glimmer,
A new universe
Beginning.
New elements we become.
Unprecedented.
My step brother came for a short visit one summer.
There was a 12 year age gap between us.
(I thought he was so cool in his soft top jeep.)
Anyway, that summer I was 10.
We were in the backyard having lunch while sitting at the big red picnic table my dad built
When we heard a very strange, loud crash.
We ran out of the yard and looked in the direction of the noise to see black smoke rising high.
My brother ran inside and grabbed his camera.
Off we went to investigate.
Even though it was just the next street over the fire engines and ambulance were already there.
A small plane had crashed into the corner of an apartment.
I remember the smell of burning flesh and against my brothers adamant pleas to go away,
I stayed watching as they put a burnt body in a body bag
and carried it away.
I think there was only one body.
So many words.
So many thoughts.
A barrage.
A tidal wave surging from a still pond
(waves with nowhere to break)
All at once and I am pulled under.
All of me.
I cannot breathe.
Trying to force them
Into smaller bits and pieces.
Crush them until there is nothing left.
No words.
