Just black and white, the keys
on a piano.
Absolute, unquestionable, yet
melodical dragonflies
maturate and fly
when you strike them

fluttering in rotary pirouettes
they fall on your ears, from your tears
attenuating swiftly from your
fingertips
in reverberant cascades
drenching the air between us

Momentarily it washed away
the protective divides of blame
I wait for the music to begin...
only
I possess keys in
shades of gray

Something tells me
the same rules don't apply
deja vu, that apologetic smile
stopped looking for comprehension
loving you has no absolution.

Have you ever felt... the breath of expiring slumber? When the sun forays into consciousness so raw, that you remain caroused in blissful illusion? The ceiling becomes pure skin, porcelain white and distorted with perfection. Vision smattered with fog and rain blur as if looking through a stormy window, and lights commence a frenzied dance with the tremor of your gaze. Clutched in your hands, sheets dripping with pits and falls of morning light becomes your willing ward. And you wish you can remain there forever, drifting in and out of oblivion. There, you're just a beating heart, a receptical of feeling. Just simply... living.
