All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Glass Top World/Shared Paradox
Attention to punctuation and form later...




Your glass top world,
My cage,
Where I plot my escape
To seek immortality
Where you hide.
I want to be inside.

So beautifully made up,
Willfully I suspend
Disbelief
That you won't be with me.
I glimpse the reflection
In the glass
Ugly, attentive viewer,
But my eyes
Won't lie to myself
Anymore

The dream is dying.
Too old, too worn down
To absorb these images
Once as beautiful as my own
In cracked, fading photographs.

You still sing to me.
My ears deceive, too.
But, I'm learning
Experience is about the past
There can be no fairytales
When beginnings are just endings
Of what we seek.

It's been so long,
I don't know what I seek
Anymore?
Is it you, or
Who I used to be
Filled with as yet
Unrealized potential?

Your glass top reality
Could be even more saddening.
I don't know why I pine.
It may mean I am near
The end of my time
And we never danced,
Truth and immortality.

Sing me another song?
Shed a tear
So I know
We share the same vision
Together in eternity.



We're all alone (together) while dying, amid a sea of unrequited love washing away our memories.
