parallel lines never cross
a communication barrior
impossible to break through
I would send a message
tied to a red balloon
if I thought it would reach you
she floats gently above the surface
on the hazy edge of a memory
she moves quietly beneath your skin
with fingertips of gold
she claims your body her own
painting her heart upon your soul
she knew you at your most beautiful
when words obscured your silence
you know why you love her
she knew you at your most beautiful
when silence obscured your words
you know why you can’t love her forever
nestled in green and wrapped in explosions of light
what has been contained now finds escape
heat is fueled by rain and cools the ground on which we stand
energy gives life to what appears new
yet only lingered dormant
while beauty casts the illusion of an undying constant
chaos rages beneath the stillness
creating change meant to open eyes and elude the heart
