Divide

Divide

DIVIDE

Flowered words cease

No more about the delight in the eyes

No ear given to praise of beauty fair

Display falls away and left in it's place

A battleground.

What's left but to bury

What once was glad memory

Of days gone by merry and glad?

Left instead a weary heart

And a heart unaware of it's place

What are words,

Reflections of desire

Or a quarry of self-deception?

Can actions overcome

The bite of a dagger, a tongue?

Mine has ceased it's wagging

Thy heart has ceased it's grasping

Our hearts have ceased to beat as one

Yet even in pain and distance and sorrow

The beats remain in rhythm

Thoughts never far

No wandering intent

Purpose and meaning questioned

Minds still locked, twin souls tangled

Is it a twisted two or one struggling divide?

Reach escape velocity,

Two orbits decay

Where do they revolve?

Did revolution break

A complimentary journey

Two planets moved in crossing paths?

The sun is a constant

Moon a distraction

Stars fall, meteors strike

beauty pockmarked with wounds cut deep

A celestial road of strife

To the left spins one

The other to the right

Do they intersect or flee the kiss of meeting?

Do they travel a road of divergent wills

Or are they pulled by the sun that holds them together?

To say I love thee would be repetition

A nuisance of letters with jumbled meaning

Thy heart resigned

With a sob and a sigh

Want and need no longer companions.

To show I love thee

Would insist on time, and sharing

The galaxy in which we dance

Prove I must that my globe spins true
