What does this eruption of
my heart into this world
call into my heart from
your clouds I still pray
storm and do not part
again this day's dawndream

In this dimirrorverse how far
are we really parted
in this surreality how far
must this demiheart
in infinity unrecess and how far
until how far remembers the truth
in the breath abiding thus far

Setting alchemy gilding
storm's remainder for this
fleeting moment graces
my fool's heart refracting
lost love's flakes into gold

Morning window tears
melting loss in light
night of years frozen
flowing it still hurts
forever this mourning

Light means nothing it is
shadows that point the way through
solid seeming fear barring but
one step belies blood burning
dancing death to life that
contrast starkly defied
meekly surrenders the ghost
whispers lost in this storm, this
hurricane of us, our birthright
passion's breath reason enough

How spinning this
clarifies blurring that
life receding so
small we were
it hurts so
closing in that
what we so
lost we were
so close so
magnified that
this is impossibly this

The smouldering sees me and
I notice and, noticing,
I offer the kindling of my heart
achingly burning beauty please
notice and, noticing,
be beauty bursting alight
burning alive noticing with me

Drop by drop years' tears fill
never full the hollow held
your holy love left and left
this life's rainy-day reflecting
more mortal than memory
born beauty just beyond
reaching you are in these
eyes still beheld beyond
reason breath by breath
yearning wholly beloved
ever loved drop by drop full
