At the edge

He gave her a night

One night, to hold on

Of times to come, or times gone.

 

At the edge

He looked over the deep end of his soul

And saw hers

She cushioned his fall with pretexts of false protection.

The darkness conceals the end from us

But It does not conceal us from the end.

One does not reach the end of himself

With a healthy existence

And a lasting breath.

 

There, where no one is looking except your own eyes

Truths are equivalent to lies

None condemns you

Yet none will save you

From a single moment

Of forgiveness.

 

A black tea,

Silver wings on tired lungs

A dog living on the balcony

The sun hesitates

Waits for the smile to step outside

So all can fit together

And the moon becomes a lover.

The larger and brighter the dreams

The sweeter the words with which

The merciless lover kills it,

He never told her he knew she loved him no more

He entertained her proclamations

And pleased with her remaining efforts

Tingling the edges of dead mornings.

 

Together, each with perfected expertise and readiness

Told the ultimate love story

The one that never breaks

But never mends,

And followed.

 

The whole idea behind words of love,

Is a flood.

Completeness

Reservations belong to language

Love is where language lives and grows

Love wither with words like “but”

It escapes the words when they attempt previous knowledge

 

 

A body for a body

Flesh for flesh

Lust for lust

All those passing through my bed

Are blessed by betrayal

Not of body

But of words.
