An infinite
digress
Loomed above
the city square
Where you
danced in circles
Rings of
ice-cold passion
Embedded in
your reason for being
The bitter
wind narrowed your vision
And all I could
see was her sleeping soul
How with you
I slept
Careless for
tomorrow
Once again
In this
night’s dark wreath
Frozen our
hearts
Always together
Always piercing
the inner walls of your dreams
Those with
which you woke
In the
middle of your slumber
To see the
one long night of life
Stretching infinitely
before you
The time
ticking infinitesimally slow
At the limit
of its existence
The vacuum
of a moment
Your eyes as
blue as shining stars
Piercing the
midnight river
In its
frozen state
A constant
motion beneath the surface
Calm, cool
and serene to your sight
Crazy and
mad for the world just below
Mad for you
All you ever
were and wanted to be
Converging in
the still pond
Of a mother’s
vision
A dancing
reflection
Of a father’s
deepest waters
Where the
light of your eyes pierces
As they burn
through the coldest of the night
And close
again to rest for tomorrow
Having seen
the boundless stretches of your soul
In the
spirit of the world
A river
always flowing toward
Our child’s
bluest eyes
Just like
the ocean we call home
And the
waves that carry us
On over the
other shore
