You Come And Return That Saying Now

As all grand loves are enjoyed once they’re past;

The irresistible pain, tingling the very breast of the skin

Is had in the now — in the motion of this delicate notion.

In the dark-oft set of an amber-laden sky, does the belief

Of this love’s passing into something grand comes into being.

Once they’ve left through that doorway, may a shadow of light

Be expelled from the envious mind and thus be revealed starkly.

You Come And You Claim To Know What I Am Saying Now;

The past unaligned to any magickal feat, only stomping abreast

To this sudden unease to discern my contentious depress

Upon the earthly contains of heaven to soil.

I lose myself in the track of it,

While wincing within all

A precious ignorance; for a time when I knew her the best,

The gleaming smile that means naught now, apples gently

The hue of her naked smile;

Over shore, into the stream,

But only to reassure them of their mistakes —

Nary more than my regret.

A smile doubles itself down, to easily lead you on

By the mere perfume of its remains.

Whilst the frowning melancholic that

You impart, by deeming eyes —

Comes to part you less, staring at this open sight,

As you clamber amidst your depression

Toiling the cumbersome soil, to make it contain

The disturbed impression of your body.

Fighting not now, as it is done.

It is cool, it is over.
