"Pelagic Thoughts"

. . .

we sat,
with our squalid hearts
that sordidly drifted,
and sifted apart.

where hushed music
left silence amiss
like a heatbeat
heard over a kiss.

drapes drawn,
all but smothered in darkness
she breathed out a candle-light
and her beauty took my hands
like braille in the night.

where the evening roamed,
the day tread with care.
I searched for her,
eyes fixed and soul bare.

and she too,
through an interface
of welling tears.
that pooled in and laced
her shadowy fears.

the world we traversed,
not just here nor there,
in the blackest depth immersed
and perched upon peaked stair.

but a simmering reality
that embellished clarity,
was that we sailed at midnight
with ill-gotten ships,
too dimly lit at sea;
and our paths would cross
not, but in eternity.

Whoa! Fantastic writing. Wordplay to the nth. The ending felt like a shattered mirror.
