Lately

Was it ten minutes, two hours or a lifetime? How long has it been?
Time has lost its meaning lately. A lack of sense or direction
Minutes and hours languidly stretch and disappear into eons
I plunge with them across the universe. My heart is a Dali clock.
At the center of the galaxy, I witness the birth of a new star!
None of this seems to matter. I search for something else

Something mysterious. It is elemental. Perhaps primordial.

Or is it ephemeral or eternal? Again, adjectives with no meaning.

I have been here before but can’t seem to remember much
I seem to only remember a dichotomy that existed in time
A time inhabited by you and the one without your radiant self
Melancholy, my friend doesn’t come around too much anymore
even when blue gray clouds hover heavily over the horizon
and incessant rain has a tight grip on everything around here.

There was a time when rainbows burned into a purple haze
now they explode all over my body and transform into dreams
Love, like beauty can be immensely vast, magical and powerful
and in moments of extreme joy, it folds back into a white silence

For there are no words that can express the purity of feeling

I reach across the fabric for you and feel the hand on my breast

You, me, this window, the trees and the city. Everything is a dream.

Boundaries melt in pure light and for a second I am that pure light!
