Staring into spirals
Dreaming of different clockwork
Glassy under the surface
Onyx staircase
Obsidian cities
Resplendent
Unfolding in colors
Bold and unrepentant
Ultraviolet love
Beginning to see
To touch the rain
And gather in the silent places
A tower underneath us
Reaching up
A secret kept at arm’s length
Now achievable for both of us
Entangle us
With hungry atomic shadows
Pressed against this
Passionate remembrance
With reverence like a flag still flying
Freedom on the rise
Dousing this with chemicals
An effigy of you and I
Watching these rose colored flames
Lifting off into the sky
Never a more righteous thing
Than building the bridge between
An architect of ancient cities
Remnants of my heart
Ruins once abandoned
A darkness in these roots
Drag me, tsunami, tidal wave
Into the open air again
To feel your lips
And taste a love that never fades
Renew this old refrain
Exhume a self I’d laid to rest
A hope that had been devoured
Now reawakened
Falling quickly
Against these ultrasonic hues
These endless kisses
And repetition to thank you
To resurrect a dented gentleman
Your mission if you choose to accept
Reaching up
Unfolding in colors
Ultraviolet Love
