Forsaking logic for
lyric, a heart interrupted,
vacant, as sycamores ail in
their requiem greens, the nests
of late summer sequestered in
dark scarlet cinders, and roses
retreat in their redribbon caskets
of nevermore. As runaway chimes and
cornerstone dancers trip on their
moment, strung out on stars, far,
while you still tug and trace me
with unexpected etchings of your manhood

If only to turn from these moments
of sighs, where miles of lush pasture
collapse into love's greatest graveyards,
where barely a robin ventures for photo
or accolades

But o so lonesome for you, stays me,
feigning this falling to knees, as
the timing of songs recall the shout
of your name, on marquise,when most
dim in mere whisper,

never to maim, to lacerate, or to puncture
in such, the depth of your rapture
on this heart of remember.

You know, the previous replies just said it all.

However,
"never to maim, to lacerate, to puncture
in such, the depth of your rapture
on this heart of remember."

That's a classic.

Stunning piece of art. For some reason makes me visualize a sutured heart..

Oh....I hated...hated to see that first line end!!! It was magnificent...flowing so beautifully, building upon itself, getting better with each syllable, each word, each phrase...absolutely loved it
