a requiem for love

in between
sips of bland silence
and bittersweet chaos

the sky decided to

u-n-r-a-v-e-l

even the stars, the moon, and the sun
fell from the heavens
to witness
the grand display

memories projected themselves

upon the clouds

dancing aurora borealis

in my head

a dream that realized itself
at the bottom of my
coffee cup
and heeled at the
foot of my bed

what joy is there
in the realization that
mornings never do come after the
break up

only christmas lights

go down after the holidays

but never the sadness that

hangs upon my face

as the the lone
piece of night clings on to
hear the very words that might
re-weave my universe

shattering porcelain hearts
do resound with such clarity
that it echoes in the halls
of nostalgia

leaves fall helplessly to the ground
as air refuses gravity
time spurts forth wings
as it raises it's fingers to
bid farewell to love.

bodies turn to the horizon
to weave a requiem
for such a beautiful
god.
