That Poem... (Untitled)

Emptiness
The fullness of time
The fullness of dreams
The heaviness of desire
The ripeness of all there was to offer
Like the juice of a mango
Full of promise
The knife slices through
The splash...in slow motion
Little beads of yellow moistness and
The sweetness they contain
You see it
You smell it
You hold it
You feel it
You know it even though
Your tongue has not arrived...

Emptiness
Looking back and seeing
All that sweetness go to waste

Pot shards broken lying in the dust
The patterns still glittering in the moonlight
The echoes of laughter beginning to fade
The harshness of those breaths you took
Do you remember the taste?
The feel?
The warmth?
That last stolen kiss before the light broke through the curtains
Do you remember?

And it turns...
Turns and turns and turns

As the months passed by
The story never ending, ever changing
Every emotion
Every word spoken
Every misunderstanding
The nonsense
The annoyance
The pointless quarrels
When will it end?
What do you want?
I want what I want
GIVE IT TO ME!
Must I take it?
No! Its broken! You broke it!
I can't see you!

Emptiness
Darkness
The fullness of time
The laughter resurrected
The light touches,
The taste of your skin
Those kisses
No longer chaste
No longer lazy
What...
Do...
You...
Want...
The space reducing
Rotations in the sun
The memories flooding back
The loss erased
Its alright again
And then...

Pot shards broken on the floor
The water spilt over
It was the same hand

Again

Always and ever the same hand
The same foolishness
The same accident
Why can't you be mine?
Alone.
All and only?
What...
Do...
You...
Want...

Emptiness
The fullness of time
All the things that could have been
But now you're saying stupid things
I can't hear you.

And then...
It woke again
The honesty
The openness
The warmth
The gentleness
And its okay to sing those songs
To dream those dreams
To look those looks
To walk those walks
But see
Its been too long
So I'm scared
And you don't even know...

Emptiness
The fullness of time
Nothing broken this time
But now you're doing stupid things

I can't see you.
