Written on Jun 17, 2016

Who in heaven's name do you think you are?
A facet of the divine?
Pure love that dreamt?
An ocean in a ripple of light?

How dare you be the One that begat Two!!
With an idea of cosmic proportions.

The man had a nightmare.
Why did she hide that dark and mysterious beauty only to be glimpsed in the light of a silver moon, or caught in flickering shadows cast by the light of a waxing candle in the peripheral left eye of the sage.
What mecurial sorcery be this.

The coincidences drove him insane.
Her dazzling red dress infinitly small defined his whole universe and there in the stars they danced and in revenge she taunted him, they spun around and around, up and down until finally consumated and exhausted fell into a black hole and exploded into a supernova.

Awake at 3.33, I was lost, as the sun shone through the window so bright and the day was as sparkling as the the look in a child's eye in Spring.
Outside many were smiling and wearing their hearts out, many scars that wept caress.
A though came, the bubble deflated and faded as a dream within a dream and only this beautiful imprint remains.
