    time for lines around the eyes
    only the vaguest concerns
    you impending force of decay
    I tire of your youthful face
    misspoke the reflection
    turned the songbook page
    and dropped into the smell of holes
    the autumn is burning
    you're coming on colder
    don't leave the window open
    what drifts in is unclean
    your spirit won't be lifted
    if you inhale a touch too often
    a rock to the glass too many
    and the pieces spell your glistening name
    those mistrust faces when you interact
    suddenly with their deep inner animals
    like in grandmothers stories
    oh how her arcs stretched
    though her death meant nothing to you
    what does death mean when you're eight
    there is nothing to it really
    uplifted
    your spirit shines as the smell of old flesh
    rises to permanently evaporate
    and the whole unwholesome life
    goes crashing through the clouds
    somewhere they wander a few days
    then lose their bearings
    spirits wander freely until one moment
    turning around find themselves
    unfamiliar, those terms they've escaped
    you too one day will know
    how well the dead know the living
    how they crawl into their flesh sometimes
    distract you out
    then make themselves at home
    of course that creepy conclusion can't be
    if you hold yourself by the heart
    keep its handheld pumping going
    with those ghostly hands
    flowing through aorta veins and arteries
    you got that wrap of flesh down solids
    lets be solids a while then liquids
    lets go back to the ocean that salty
    make it music let's go in the winds will shrivel
    our flesh will tremble together we're still
    mortal but there's time enough to do it again
    keep on doing it again there's will
    we have it let's not lose out
    let's repair our wrists reverse the time
    we said it's over let's find something more to say
    you morbid we have something
    connection like an ancestry how familiar
    I found your conversations and you too
    said what when we came together sparks
    remember abandoned with echoes of life
    leave it all behind remember could have
    but we didn't follow that now what it is who knows
    could be nothing but dream it sometimes
    even with images carry on with imagination keep going
    with that epic sometimes wash away like waves
    I no longer control,
    lose my breath and go under.

    ...breath taking.

    I agree with arthippie you have a style that is abstract and not everyone can understand it.

    Id enjoy reading more from you, so keep writing and posting.
    may peace and love find you.
