abyssia

a shade, a shadow
the glimmer of an idea
breezes by my knees
i scoop, i swirl, i dance
i dance a dance like no other
what is so, is so
but it is not what is
whispers and echoes
catch my ear
mind races, heart pounds
they say time heals
i know time is not
never was...
i smile
i beg you to fill me
to guide me
dance with me, won't you?
i promise...
i promise a sweet promise
like death's kiss
like buttercups under eager chins
like the smell of an old book
i promise everything and -
and nothing
you have my heart
if a heart is a heart, that is.
smiles, smiling eyes...
do you see them?
do you feel the night air?
i drift on it
i am the whisper, the echo...
something soft, something urgent
something to call home
a thought, a notion
the tickle of an apparition
on the tip of my nose
oh, dance with me -
this dance of eternity
