Aftermath

I held onto it
in pragmatic pretence
after you left me
swimming in white noise

caressing-corroding-creeping
in calm

The giant void fluttering
a psychedelic polychrome
nurturing me
till I was
a ensnared light-beam
in dark matter

I curled up to a C
shrinking into
an ageless placenta
in the deafness of your silence
afloat in primordial distance

I felt no kiss of pain
when you lit up
in a flash around me

And yet you flourish
in allegorical rhyme

Despite my lost sense
of perception
in the fulfilling darkness
you astound me under
the veiled impressionist canvas
in the howling wind-

it is getting c o l d

On the screen of mercury
I am the monolith
passive and poignant
I am growing old-
standing here
imprisoning the spectacle
as the myriad colours
bleed and dissolve
and leave all my hyperdreams
of you

b e h i n d

to rainsoak forever

I peer into ether
for small angel escapes
and am dazzled
by the pristine architecture

giant designs revolving around
conveyer belt of fate
shooting flecks into never
as empty people float in the tides
dressed in dull gray, going farther

And I rise like a giant starfish
buoyant and leaving a trail
of moonstones
while all the figures afloat
from the elusive past
still embody denial

As I see them
from trains of half truths
naked to the core, hiding my sores
concealing and invading
I fall thru the hole in the landscape
a giant rabbit hole
which stretches on

I fall riding your luminescence
weightless yet gravity bound
clutching your being-
my ethereal joyride
drifting into black space
to be swallowed in blank space

As the eventhorizon blurs
and my lifeforce blinks
I beam behind trapped eyelids
still viewing the aftermath
of the dreamdusk
surrounded by
the grieving ghosts
of the delta
r a c i n g towards
the prolonged trance
dancing on the symbols
of epsilon and beta
sliding on the melted wires
of the glittering lake
watching the birth
of blindness
as the stars die

You flicker-a fluid mermaid
teleported
I take a step in the sand
and extend my hand

Alas! Trapped in the tragic divide
of neural fatigue

I am stuck here-
the dreaming-sleepwalking lover

In the whirlwind
of your bidirectional indecision

I see fading streetlights
or may be new born novas

Am I at home
Is this the mid plane
Heaven

Your radioactive ambivalence
has scorched my soul
yet I wonder
have we been here before!

Drunk on blissful agony
and high on elastic love
I want to be left dreaming
on the railway track
running headlong
at the tunnel to freedom

Then I want to be your gift-
to be wrapped and taken home

scarred smiles and scalding bloom
of deciduous joy

yet you could place me
in the glass pyramid
and wipe the frozen maladies
to impart luminescence

Lipread the surreal static
of my love songs
and channelize visions
of the residue of
our underwater dreams
of immortal love
giant rings bubbling
and open your eyes
to my sealed lips

Stranded in echoing silence,
in the aftermath
with an unsolved crossword
of cryptology and bucket full
of timesand with
fragments and figments
of shared dreams

Could have been magnetic
as even the clock's stopped.
