While We Serene

If just for once I could spill pools of thought,
not the expected,...or gigged,
but this,...this release -
across these stained glass spaces.

I think about the in-between and there we are,
simply whirling, secretly sick underneath.
While the decaying taste swims alone,
feathering for reconciliation.
I swallow hate, swallow hard,
to twirl in twos - we are,...
simply beaming, secretly bleeding inside.

I thought that I could take a dose of society
and wash it down with the whirl and beam of you.
I thought that eyes invariably told the truth.

I curl and stretch, I breathe it deep
down to the core, examine it with laboratory eyes.
And you want to know you say, of the acidic sounds
corroding my skins as we spin here -
in esthetic smiles (handmade) by local artisans.

See I dance, in steps of two,...I forgive in folds.
I can run faster than a liquid trace. Unknown.
I am puddles. More,...pools of thought. I am truth.
Both scared and brave. Both deafening and silent.
-Simply shied tight.-
While we - serene- ah! a dream, we are! - we scream.

Wow....yes, Spitfire, the eyes DO tell the truth...some are more adept to reading the truth...others only want the fallacy...

W O W!

Spitfire, my friend, you've penned the mightiest of your works with this.  This is awesome...especially the last stanza.  Only stopped in here a moment while running out the door but am very happy I read this.

Keep the faith, my friend.

You do know the rule? anytime you mention "serene", "serenity" or "blue eyes"--
IT'S ALL ABOUT ME....

lol...love your work, love, hope I haven't missed too much, haven't been around as much.
Excellent imagery, as is your trademark.
HUGS-n-love

Maybe they're glass eyes...?

=====================================

Excellent write and I especially loved the last verse.  As some of the others have said, the eyes do tell the truth and the wisdom in this piece leaves much to ponder.  

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together
