No Questions, Just For Tonight
Twice, I died
holding you in my bare arms
feeling weight of
unspoken words
unfinished dreams
cradling unshed tears
gasping at unfamiliarity
of tranquility
the vast space of our lovebed
the divide;
listening to shards of songs
jarring through velvet scars.
Come,
lay on my lap
I'll tell you a tale
of Starry Starry Night
emblazoned with sapphire stars
burning hearts, churning desires
coy smiles lured with daisy hearts
making love on carpet'd dandelions
watching the sun chase the moon
and the moon chase the sun
eclipsed by three words
engraved in memory.
Fold,
your fragile trust
Inside my womb
like a crescent moon
cover yourself with
ashen regrets
then blow them against
mournful winds
swooned with lullaby
I'll cherish your wounds
with sacrilegious tears.
No questions
just for tonight.
Come,
lay on my lap
For dying once was not enough
I would gladly die with you, twice.

No words to describe this piece, it simply leaves me speechless. You have a beautiful mind Vee, positively no doubt about it. The images, the flow of it, the sheer beauty of it is amazing, the ending could not be more perfect. Thank you for writing this gem!

This was written during a horrible break up and I understood his behavior/bad choices although, i couldn't condone it.
In the end, no one can save anyone if they don't want to be saved.
Thank you Anon for always appreciating my thoughts displayed.

"Gasping at unfamiliarity
of tranquility," what a marvelous truth...I too wish that I was more accustomed to tranquility. The third stanza makes me ponder the dichotomy of Vincent Van Gogh...how one so troubled could spend his life creating such beauty...surrounded by the tranquility of nature. Bravisima, Vee!

as much as we need and crave peace, balance and normalcy our mind and emotions resists and fights when its least expected. I think that's one of the reasons people fill the room with 'white noise' or music to drown the silence.
Thank you GW for your beautiful praise, this is a special piece for me as you've noticed.

Nice write, reminded me of one of mine from last year. Though, your writing rings familiar anyway. Very odd, but also very cool...

Woman! I'm in love with this
one.. no ifs ands or buts
Solely a mind's and heart's breath.
I literally left my chair, stood up
and just melted with all the feelings
this possess.
Astonishing,
