Posted by jürgendeus a great defiance that swells and rises
on 4/23/2002, 3:24 am
a great movement in the dark starts along the floor
the majesty of a dying emperor
sounds its sadness across the hallowed wood
and the softened sounds begin to turn
you lose yourself in the wilderness
an arena is darkened
to fit all thoughts with appropriate dignity.
yet
it is not decorum that dances silently around you
higher than the sun
through the dark wooden ceiling you soar
tossed through to weightlessness
in an ebbing and swelling
silent heavy sea
you will never rise again
this vast balloon of sadness burgeons over the sky
it has eclipsed the chandeliers of glory
above the lighted glass
wooden stairs sing of a divine madness
meant for someone else
but it is you who is here instead
a chance onlooker
you watch a strangerÂ’s love strip
so gently before you
i am not your lover you long to cry
but flow towards it transfixed by beauty
and helplessness as it unfolds its wrappings with soft, soft movements
slowly you rise as if bound to a single thread
moving upward and so stand immobile
the air around you drifts into itself
and forms pictures of indescribable beauty
forming and dissolving like smoke wreathing
dreamshapes out of nothing.
a grey cloud whispers love into your ears
you turn to look at your reflection, silenced by the sight.
all you can do is look back.
you have eavesdropped on something that is not yours
but it will hold your hand until the end
you reach for it in the darkness
in the fullness of the moment what turns to you completely
without fears and ghosts haunting your memories?
i stare straight ahead as you hold me in silence.
