FOREVER

FOREVER

When she walked past

unassuming and honest

 little drops of melanin on her face like enriched soil

placed by the hand of the artist

She was veiled in the coolest breeze

As she went on my life followed

in it's darkness and its lights

 Air swept through me in pellets of exploding cyclones

and I was born again with the primal impulse

to go to her

 

 the threshold was a black hole of alternative realities

 and I stood in her aura sedated in the dream they reserved for me

 uniquely humble in a sublime desert of paralysis

abandoned by myself

peering through a portal of Infinity where we grew close

and raised a family

 

Then she was physically close enough to absorb me in a Cassiopeia cluster

and my disciplines dispersed haemorrhaging my spirit with filled out of my mouth

and laying a million daisy's at her feet it said “I think you're fucking beautiful”

She smiled

and having kamikazed I scurried away embarrassed by the nakedness of honesty

 

I saw her the next day

an angelic illusion of a typical human tinged with desire

 vulnerability

confusion

elevating rites of passage with undisclosed intimacies

still in their infancy like sightless children

and of sound mind I chanced a stroll through sliding door

 

I dropped the key to being alone and a free fell into the first spring

of a virgin zone

in an inkling my universe was made beyond the clinical inadequacies of barcoding

I had been charged on tingling sensations

floating on air

leaving footprints in the clouds

Nothing mattered more on this mortal coil than the euphoria of our integrating atoms

welcomed like prodigal sons

 

Looking at her was exhilarating

I'd always sense that a god had just entered the room and started plucking at my plasma

scattering it into ten thousand lives

that climbed the shoulders of the sky and base jumped to her centrifugal essence

 

I gorged vulvic fruit of her in eunuch’s devotion to nourish grasslands

and when she urged to relinquish her vital breath to my hand I loved her with everything as nothing

decreed in its simplest mantra as hieroglyphicaly hypnotic as folk songs

as though African flamingos danced in tune strolling across the Inca

 

Being with her

I was in Nirvana counting falling glaciers

My bodiless particles running barefoot beside Moroccan horses as free as her

 

As her breath returned to my hands our celestial cells were skiing barefoot

in Yellowstone Rivers

drying off in Gold Coast Sands

and just talking to her

our stella ant-atoms hop skipped slat piers of Maldivian water bungalows

sipped libation on the Dunes of Sossusvlei bathed in red light

to sleep under a solar storm with her ear resting on my heartbeat

knowing our initials are carved on a tree in a central reservation outside Hyde Park

to wake in a Danube Delta

 

She pulled a handbrake on the rotation of earth and time hydraulically chilled

and that's where my jaw dropped in headless oblivion

because it's difficult to speak when happiness is within reach

The tears that I cried when she said goodbye

returned to re-cry when there were none left inside

 

It transpired that my spatial awareness rewired

and I'm still dazed if a bit pleased that I'm subtly unreleased

from the untethered soul of a masterpiece
