Elysian rune

Slow breath of quiescent time,
scattering and spreading the fine sands of its course,
once defining the thresholds of the universe...
it will soon be a violet midnight
ballet of green lights 
veiling down the starry northern sky
tuned to the notes of an ethereal music
in every gaze and every sigh,
          in the warmth of this cool night...
*        *        *
the free stars of heavens did not mind
the chains binding them in constellations
stories were told of them
and names to remember
for the sun was too jealous
wanting the day all to itself
berating the night into silence
and the darkness of thoughts
most hidden of all
for the day to reveal
the ice cold nature
as you shy away with them
into heavenly realms
where a sun so bright
is naught but an odd milestone
          to the vastness of darkness
*        *         *
I give you the sun
and i give you the moon
and the stars with them
the aurora is for you
and the flowers that bloom
the scent of what's left pure
and the ocean is yours too
and the bright blue sky
and everything in them
I give them away
for a smile of yours
for you to contemplate
what you are to me
I wrote it everywhere
across the universe
painted it in the sky
carved it in the earth
limned it in the mountains
poured it in the seas
spread it in the heights
honed it in the depths
forged it in the fire
froze it in the ice
imbued it in the clouds
all across through times
fused it within you
          to the jealousy of angels
*       *         *
soon it all will vanish
and nothing will remain
and there then you will see
the love that bides in me
the things you've been avoiding
forgotten lay behind
what once you marveled after
desolate they lay
in hidden depths of mind
what made you wander stray
and once this veil is lifted
alone you would remain
if i had forgotten you
even for a second
let you wither in the dark
and your soul go bitter
          in this blistering cold winter


a love to be continued...
