at the foot my thoughts they gather.

By Corinthian










Auburn dreams in my hollow room
where we can not talk anymore 
 


rewinding the highs of crashing edens
with ballet hands and sequined  kisses
 




eternity above my head  ,
while under my feet time is stalled



turning a night into tomorrow
just breathe
in sagemuffins and whispers 

and orchids stabbing
through their own perfume



sleep memorizing
the irises of stars
the cough of a dying wind 


like I deserved what you did to me
 
there are always lights
cuddled together in the darkness
we knew each other once
in the way that all the lonely know each other 
  

leave me like you mean it
leave me in an avalanche




dont leave me quietly
its not fair 
at least say goodbye ,



even if you dont mean it ...
 





and I promise I will let you go
with these memories that I need too much

    "...cough of a dying wind" and the preceding imagery was pretty much window dressing for all that was to follow, when you really let it fly! Thanks for sharing.
