asteric

minesweeper you, could have thought myself a little more and you'de have
you'de have left me swinging
lightly on a breeze shifted by god and linger long landscape tells us so
but you'll never know.

so i adjust my task and set my sights, new glory,
back for a billion times, dream this last one here for me.
rest a little drop a sweat on you and know you could never be the way i saw you standing in the sunlight---shining, arms to the sky
but i caught one just last wind, waited for the sandcastle to cave in on us
and i knew,
you'de know but never be there. glasseyes, i can see through, you.

and lamplight gorges gouge our eyes out with new transparent god and all you left with is
you'll never know.

so hold it in, just one more night, take me inside the dark of you, and i
i can coil myself around your mind, wrap myself lightly on your end of time.

i have just one more end of time for you, and there's at least a billion saved
to go now, long endeavor, where can you find the wind to change us?
and glasseyes, you should know, i can see right past you. you're nothing to no one now, but soon
maybe one day, try another like at life, throw another log in your heart and burn yourself calm till you
till we all
turn to dust.

and then, nothing.

so i wanted you to know, it's waiting on the playing songs and wasted tears, on you
your wasted years, coldheart syndrome, where do they find it?

and i know, you the snowqueen, bulging eyes wanting back, trying hope for another ride
dorrway falls open and we're all too tried for all but this.

and i want, clone-life hacker drop zone frenzy feeding on your dreams, feed yourself, myself
i have enough dreams for you, enough time to last us through,
so you'll never know
where i had to go, left leary cost me just another lifetime, and i'll give you nothing less than all the air i always breathed.

so you'll never know.

but i caught you, on the edge of meaning, scrawling on the floor---jesus, your words cannot be read.
so cry, and build us your calssical river with your hopes and dreams that all went stale, but don't forget,

i saw you when you shined, knew you when all the words were there, and treaties were made beneath your glare.

and then you should all be told, glasseyes, heart that's made of stolen concrete, where'd you put the afterlife for us? i can still feel
your heartbeat
on my chest, late, it's calling all the dreamnights back, you're only there as long
as i can say you are.

pack this way, wait on a clearer world and find yourself, still
beneath the lotus blossoms on the waterfront with sonnets (glowing) to change the world with, shining in the sun, moonlight
rips your arms to the sky and no one, no, not here
can tell you how, you saved more than a million.

saved more than a million.

saved yourself a...holy god, lamplight. dreams left on windowsills, doing ordinary things, like cleaning your fingernails, and doing the wash, but soon, once,
you blew me out through the back of a mind, bellowed myths i'm still afraid
to know, from you,

glasseyes waiting on a new dream.
gouging light left and right, you're here, and i know,
i know you meant well, enough.

you never,
failed me
gorgeous without a limb to show for it,
and now you'll never know.

so i lied and said i could see you through the storm, blinking lights, city light, where is all the myth life we so talked of and longed for?

but here, and i'm back for the billionth time, not knowing what you
see when you close your eyes, iceberg soul and left you shattered.

you can't, have to wake from
hell, it all goes softly when you drift away,
just one last life raft before dawn and no one can tell you no.

no one can tell you no.

no one now,
knows the color of your eyes, the way i left you gasping, i have a little more truth to share
with you
right here, before the time folds

and we're soaring, once again, i know you left yourself behind, long ago, stone cold creature of the earth and soil,
brought you back to the shore, salvation
reform myself, golden eyes come glowing back, but never again,

you'll never know.
