HER GUISE IN THE ARBOUR...
We paid our debts
Liquid sunsets through
Euphoric, crystalline
Ocean gravity
Wealth of touch
Immolates the day
Above our dreamscape
Our pergola we splayed
And the xanthous sparks
In between each blink
It was vacillation
That was ophthalmic
Yes, I do
I see your shadow
When I think of you
It is always faced away
Like an event horizon
All the world is removed
And I saw it well
As those same sparks began to fade
Under the rising tide
And you knew me well
An ultimatum reversed
Your heart was the curse
Upon my hearse
Winter of my reverie
Nothing left to take from me
So your image is left gaunt
And as Autumn, leaves
Never again to chase the sun
For I have already won
The flame dances upon the walls
And ignites the pane
Odd how a night yet glistens
After the rain
You say I speak in tongues
But I've only had one
Her guise in the arbour
Of a forgotten hope

Made it into my quote notebook. Great piece it as always slowly pulls you in. It as always has so much depth. 🌹
