crazed in re-actives
a relate
built over time
left to mature…like aging wine
a connoisseurs repast envisioned to share at lesiure together
not a high peak sought
but an eventual happenstance
and then
you let go…you have to
by force of choice
made for you, by someone…and some by you made…in falling
back…to grounds you trust
even as it fails you
a dependence
on one…misplaced
in ‘hungers’ blind over reach
a much too much from heavens sought…even as a hell burns
churning restless…beneath the grounds of ‘paradise’
in symbiotic waltz
to erupt as ‘others’
intrusive and parisitic…catalysing decay
into death…of the once beautiful
a sequestering infect…suckling now’s sweet fruit…as theirs
‘substance’…to taste and savour
while expectations whiff…be yours
in unrequited desire
yet a life…yours now
to relish…in its myriad colours
some framed in shades of lonliness…a ‘raw’…untainted with remorse
un-mired in burdens of embroidered maintenance
of one…too committed
to freedoms…cheer
from empowering bonds
subtle chains…tuned to demands
of past immerse in hooks…potential paths or crossroads…left behind
in a move away from duality…to breathing easy
the singular air
of mountains…conquered
virgin skies cleaved…in the clean break
of a ‘dawn’ in yesterdays lives as fresh todays
available…not lost, to an evenings long shadow in inertial embrace
of ‘pasts’…that suffocate a soul
now spirited…in release
unravelled twists and turns
charged in lusts for life…or dashed on rocks
smashed on heady spirits…be its ride
a gushing…eventually majestic in its calm flow…from primal roots
the once turbulent white water…transmorphed
into limpid…mellow swirls
of an oasis…pooled .within
palm fringed…shaded from the outer glare
of harsh and dessicating immerse…a desert surreal
wherein…even ‘strangers’ be welcome in cool openess…to share all
whatever be left…of their shrivlled worth
in what remains…on offer
