Waves

“Waves”-CJ

If the dark sun

In the way of light

There are

Finite ways

To shatter light

And then

Make it whole again

If I took a shot

Of sunshine

It would

Be deadlier

Than moonshine

And would

Corrode

My innards

Like a good whisky

The blackest

Criminal

The sagest

Of saints

All belong

To sunlight

Like sunlight belongs

To all creation

That shine

That you pull

From when you create

Makes

Saints

And devils

And angels

Out of mere

Human beings

And lovers

Of fire

Stand by the shore

Watching the

Waves.

I thought long and hard

About writing you

And then wondered

“what good would that do?”

You sitting in your

Rocking chair

Fire blazing in your soul

If you said anything

Into my mind that

I could believe

It was the words

“I love you”

Over and over

While fire

Leapt from your soul to

Mine

In the darkest hour

I leapt from your

Soul to mine

And my cat

I had to put him to sleep

You will never meet Mr. Toby

His fire was extinguished

But it still burns in my soul

Every being we love

Is a piece of our insides

And passion is just a word

And bodies are finite

My love for you is not

The word love

It is a wave

That transcends

All thinking knowing and being

It is a moment

When you slip in and out

Of being

Like a being in a Surrealist

Painting

Somehow shimmering

On a plain of being

As eternal

and perfect as this one
