The Unseen Evergreen

 

Shimmers of tears exploded from frontal lobes

Eye sockets turned daytime rockets race from the excess overflow

Context now lost in the sands of time.

Blended samples of rose red flush the sour mead of teenage maturity

Swirls of road blocks, turned car crash impaling the youth in spleens

The cycles of moments lived over in dreams

Careful unread messages revealed in sync.

In the dirty old shoe box taped under the sink.

Flashes of laughter.

Endless waltzes in our time.

Un-boxed letters of wedding vows

Wined to the nines

Children crashing the early mornings of Saturdays not yet dreamt

Floors dropout as the sunshine trickles through

As screams of fear fly in the faces

Tears from reality always bleed through

Seas of time divide sinking the houses just out of reach

As we shift in our buoyant escapes

Traces of what never was fades 

Mouthing please remember me

As the waters crest and break

Out of sight

Out of mind

Out breath

Out of time

Never a second thought

Bury me in the catacombs of the mind
