Brightness dimmed, you stood before my eyes unveiled
Resplendent orb, splashing hues transient they wane
Melting against the infinite backdrop.
And my eyes found you, confounded by all the sound
The disharmony and resting at the golden red beauty
Where life made sense in the sheer enormity of your gaze
Softened so that I may chance at you unhindered,
Take in the steadily bloodied hue, growing deeper
As if my conviction you drew with you and with that thought
Painted yourself divine!
Aaah what would you know of circles and convictions
When you stand there god-like, your golden red head
Bowed down to none? What would you know of the chaos
That muted itself as I watch your profile sink lower
Casting the dreary sprawled life of concrete with a new rigor,
A will to live, a subjugation and a juxtaposition equal to that
Of calling you god- what could you say if you knew I
Drink in those eyes listlessly, soundlessly because my only
Universe centers around you?

The sky is set it seems, set against a bejeweled splendor
Of clouds encrusted with the deepest rubies hiding in their
Midst emeralds sparkling, sapphires most excellent
And the color of peaches, like the petals of a flower blushing,
Where every blush would sparkle deeper into a ruby and you
Stood there sinking, my desperate eyes calling, wanting to extend
My hand and silently lift you up, oh golden one!
But helpless against the greater forces of life I let you slip past,
Like a bright robed priest holding the light of my life in his hands,
And quietly extinguishing the fire of those heathen lamps,
Oh you slipped away, hidden behind the gathering swirling thick mists,
Drowned, just simply gone!
And I…I stared, documenting with silent sighs and resignation
Of the moment where you were dimmed but shone brighter,
More dark and beautiful clad in your blood red hue…x18226310
