All The Forgotten Novels
I watched you
wrangling those sensations
turning your heart
upside out, inside down
dipped in ink
kissing the page
I heard your words fall
articulate fictions collecting
spelling out the living world
filtered through your eyes...
I sat, awe-struck
at the flippant phrasings
spilling from your pen
Truest lies, the lying truths
splattered accurate
clung to the pages
I believed the textures
you carved in open air
the spoken honey of your prose
a world seen through dark eyes…
And gone and gone
time laughing at us
It's all forgotten
time mocking us
all forgotten
like rain at sea
Those sparkling lines
those bound beauties
all forgotten
like rain at sea
like rain at sea...
