Be Kind, Rewind

The Rewound Heart
Bleeding backwards
Into a dying sun
Waning crescent
Descending crescendo
Cascading energetic cycles
Data still backing up
Collapsing, I just hit reset
Still moving back in time
Such sanguine words
Flushed with color
Of how with cheeks like fired coals
I found my feelings grown
And now in ascending order
Listing wonders of your garden
How in sunlight flowers towered
How in darkness you still glow
Scattered orbits like electrons
The pitter-patter pattern starts
Emergent and deeply entangled
Caught between eternity and particle
One kiss for the unlocking
Fluttering wings
Inward I am all tied up
Thinking all these knotty things
Slipping upward
To set off sailing skies
And cast a net in afterglow
Until the sun might rise
Fast fading fires seldom stay
But here my eyes met yours
And this lonely heart did say
A million muttered loving words
With little relief left within
And still nothing to show
I pray and put my blood back in
I swallow down these blushing words
And make a b-line for this horizon
That fleet of foot and in due time
You might bless me with your likeness
In this visionary state of mind
Fears all stuffed and set aside
One foot before another
Hoping I may yet be in stride
And find myself beside you
Putting all this back together
Reconstruct a Universe
Be kind and just rewind
So I can try another tune
Singularity, still crushing
I'd love you past the end itself
I'd run this back just for remembering
And never need another night
So like the moon I shift these phases
Hoping like the sun you'll shine
And let me just reflect your beauty
Still moving back in time
