Mirages
shimmering like glass shattered on the floor
Sweet wine can’t be tasted…No more
distant ache, No more gloom
dusk darkening the doorway…
No more ultraviolet light radiating and baking
The summer crackling fire pits and smoke
And dark, dark heat of summer nights in the desert
Seductive, sweltering heat pumping the blood
To every single surface of my skin
Passion Fuels everything!!!
no more Detached from the memory
inscribing echoes on the walls in my cave
Plastering pictures of words….
runes made to ward off
Evils spirits
I sing songs, in shades of grey, and green and blue…mute colors
that soothe the soul to the touch
Pulling my spirit into a refuge
the Internal workings of the mind
I mine the depths of a heart still beating for something,
For someone,
unknown.
Reserving this sacrifice-I hoard many little pieces of my soul
for no one…
Wondering if this elusive spirit can be found
& bound to mine before I leave this earth…
It is the only thing that matters..
the point…
I’ve always know the truth,
All along
My heart wields a force stronger than the sea
Weathering away the hard ridges of stone and dust
Soaking down into the mantle of the earths core
Binding together the little sparks into one
I’ve created the sun
Breathing life into my spirit each time
I allow myself a moment to dream.
I scream out into the nigh sky
Deep into the blackness of a new moon
And swoon,
Because it matches the color of your eyes..
despising how helpless I appear
Being nothing more than a weary brujo
Uninstructed in the craft
I Sink my fingers deep into the earth to regain control of my destiny
Again
I sin,
again
& again
& again & Again…
Because it feels so good,
As it should…
This merry-go-round has occupied too much of my conscious thought
I leap off,
dizzy and lost in mirthful laugher
Spinning around with my face to the sky
Arms outstretched to catch every drop of rain that falls
I love…
I love…I love…I love to do this!
To get lost, in the joy of emotion
Risking the fall,
Because in life…that’s all that matters.
