The long way 'round
Hearing that heart... beat
little sighs escape
with every exhale
Twilight surrounds;
a small crooked half smile
tenderly gives me away
Dark endeavors twist tightly
all but forgotten,
my hollow empty death throes
Feelings radiate contrary illusion
skewed, unclear
jumbled mid confusion
Specks of reality,
like random glitter
sparkle amidst the sun's ego
Refractive heat, soul-warms
inviting possibility
to openly thrive
Each heel meeting toe
stepping purposely ... closing in
welcomes back
What always was mine
Making peace
between past and present
renascent togetherness
strides towards
their rewritten future.

How the fragile is made of spaces
with tenuous appearances...
But somehow hold together,
like the mystery of existence itself, which has a foundation of fragility.
Like... Love?
What a strange fragility.
A nuance filled detour into a magical place, B.
Most excellent.

Seeing through our previous objections in life integrates us with those formerly rejected parts.
My former fears have become shields. My former faults street credit on human avenues. My age, an ability to face any foe. The more I go along the more I get along. Even my enemies realize their amalgamation rests on disappearing blockades of disintegrating time. Within the unification of the existance field every wall falls before me. I am one with all and what was there is now here. All is a falling. Upon this I stand. Synchronicity dissolves duality. Death is a phase. Eternity is a footstool. Existance is pure energy operating at various speeds. The universe is a spectrum of nuances, chief among which is the conscious spark which flickers its symphonic echo of self-evidence, alone but never lonely.

I think perhaps those conscious and unconscience sparks become fuel, allowing my desire or maybe it's my inspired self to bleed out it's creativity... In ways I'm not fully understanding of appreciative of...
Just a big ol random thought.
Thanks for the pondering, RT.
It's eye opening and takes a bit of weight off... I feel lighter... That's pretty amazing.

I enjoy the line delivery, like a monologue to a dream, soft and tender to eye.
Wonderful spill blue.

You words wrapped in sentiments insisted me to think. I believe that it is relevant to be free and vulnerable in love to find how strong is the love that holds us together. Secondly play freely and fearlessly to find the freedom of relationship. Anyways, Your note at the bottom What Buddha said, "If you love someone set it free, if it comes back its yours otherwise wasn't." Love is an adventurous game to play to get hurt and move on.
Love,
