Love By Line

-
Sweet eyes
Delicious dark eyes
Eyes that look at me
I am entranced
You sing
I hold my breath
Your voice rasps
Your body sings
I can't help but dance along
My eye smokes
My voice shakes
I don't mind at all
Crack in the bell
Whisper of the spell
You must be magic
For I am ensorcelled
The horizon breaks
Your face beams
I can't help but melt
If I am a symphony
You are my conductor
My bones are supposed to be strong
I guess I hadn't prepared
For the way your eyes soften
When they take me in
Wishing for something
Dancing in the dark
Open sign flashing
Nonchalant beauty
Pining and confused
We speak
Corner of your mouth
Tip of my tongue
Flash of white teeth
Shivering in summer
Trembling in the fall
Blushing in winter
Let's start it all over in the spring
Iron heart
In the blacksmith's hearth
Can you see my pulse jumping?
I want to soar over the world
But your hand tugs
And your fingers intertwine
Holding my hand
In your larger one
And again I am soaring
But this time
I've got both feet on the ground.

Pathos

So the equilibrium is no more The surface tension has been broken What was once the glory days Is now nothing more than memory And filtered photos on your phone How often do you look at those I wonder And wish for when hearts were untouched by paranoia? I can't say when the frost began creeping in Seizing your soul and rendering you immobile To the machinations of inevitable separation We were too much like flint and flint Grinding against each other Until the sparks began to fly You took it too far and they were terrified Of seeing the monster inside the darkness that was you They say that it was a forgivable misstep And they smile and soothe but their eyes aren't quite meeting yours And the sinking of your heart is like an axe head in water Only there is no one to make it resurface again Their path diverges from yours It's a split road, one leading into an endless plain They say that you can't follow, and they hold you clos

 sometimes the gold is in the pan already there and nugget-like I can just bite down and make an impression Indent and imprint to make a mark to mark make But I feel even my most feeble attempts  will be as inconsequential as those furrows left in the ocean's sand shaking the silt just to tell a fortune already grasped but in the meantime i will chew the pulp  and wonder for soup.
