Why must you pursue circles
as if they stunned you
with the importance of sun and moon

when we spin only for the sake
of trying to escape the corners

to be held

for a little while
before dusk settles our demise

finally

this ridicule-circle is our own making..

From one satellite
to the next

blinking her way
through your expanse,

You could never grip past surfaces…

The pastel cold
nor ruby fires
of traits
you say you admire…

Life moves without me
In and out of one manic episode to the next
Life moves without you

You love me, love me
means only a revolution to my ears

I won’t fall out of the sky
And in love with you…

There is enough space
here
in the negligent black
for us both,

And still

gravity

pursues you


faster than I can spin.

An amazing piece of writing here gemma!
Extremely well written.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul
