I am starting to believe you are all
the same person. Once at the church, again at the diner, once more
in bed and still there when I close my eyes. What is this symphony
that echoes through the chambers? I have tried to comply with what you
asked. To whom am I speaking? Rhapsody in blue.
The same words you have read pass
before my eyes and it is the only way I can know your mind. The word
“possession” is the only thing that makes any sense. I still
do not know what color they truly are. It hurts but I cannot look away. She
caught me in the dark.
He needs you right now just as you
need him. Of everyone I have ever seen…
I see everyone through breaking
glass. Do you dream like a child? I
think that you know what to do. It does smell pretty, she
said. And how right she was.
I am going to think about you every
Sunday morning (maybe just Sunday or maybe Sunday evening).
My sunflower. My
sunflower, you leave me dancing
I imagine you with a mask, a pink
mask, that’s how I want to see you.
These things glisten like
metal.
Oh Johnnie, this world you have
opened up to me.
Heaven sent. My sunflower I know this is the
truth. This is far too complex for such a simple man. And then the
explosions begin. So much change in an empty, endless game and all I know
is this true love I feel. Everything is wrapped in a cloak of
desire. You can't help but leave so much behind. And I could feel
envy from others.
Fruit so supple it drips ambrosia. There are endless fields by flowing
rivers. A paradise drenched in pink and
purple.
It fills so much, please let me drink from your hands.
Don’t tell me your plans.
Love sprang forth in astonishment.
Temptation has a stranglehold on us.
Just one glance, black water on the shore. We trade our virtue.
The greatest motion. Stars align themselves. Everything succumbs to
blue and black. I don’t dare venture
back a second day. You have eclipsed
everything. This is a raincloud on my
life. You drain my blood.
There is no greater beauty.
I took a vacation in the stars.
There was a harmony of love and desire.
He fled when he was saw what was in her eyes. Everything was nuclear.
No words to describe that movement. He wrote a thousand of them and none of them
seemed to fit. There is nothing so
pure. Nothing else remains. I have always searched for this. In the morning she is there. So many promises. The veins.
I would die for a dance.
The shoulder is the best place to be.
Think of this as my goodbye. She
could see it reflected in her own eyes.
There is nothing at the end of that street. This is the last moment we speak. It is better not to know.
I can’t say anything in these moments of rhapsody. Pianos go into overdrive. You say words I have never heard. I read words first seen by your eyes and they
are far more beautiful for that. How can
I know you? Tell me everything.
My sunflower, I will search behind every glass door. Where are you healing today? I am just a guest. So much rhythm all around us. What difference does the choice make? All those streets and alleys and shops all so
connected. We are at the top of the hill
and see everything for once. The other
side of midnight is where you will see me next.
Desire was a transparent blue.
You are there each and every time but I have no idea who you
are. I feel scared and oddly
exhilarated. You like to go places he
doesn’t. I wonder what places you could
show me. No, I never wonder that, I
cannot. I can’t allow you to steal away
this perfect dream. When you fall asleep
at night what name is on your lips? Who
are you praying to before sleep takes you?
I know I was there at the beginning of things. I would cradle you and wish for nothing
more. The days are few but they take an
eternity to pass. Leave me alone, no I
don’t mean that. What is everyone
saying? I go back and forth. But it is all so beautiful; those are the
words I hear. Why is everyone afraid of
going home again?
There is a voice somewhere in the background telling me it is
time to walk away. I don’t want to
listen to it but I know I will. Someday
in the park maybe. We will be by a river
or by an ocean. From the terrace you
hold out your arms as if for a hug and I can see you across the way, even when
it is night.
My spiral is never broken.
I have moments where I am absolutely certain none of this is real and I
break down and cry because I realize no one I speak to actually exists. Please someone tell me what is wrong with
me.
You’re exploding me again.
Just like you always do. When the
sun goes down I think we are both doing the same thing. The music is quiet for just a moment and I am
very terrified that the world is going to end soon. The night smells familiar and it is wonderful
and frightening. Ah Monique, please
arrest me.
I may be going against the best advice but I am going to tell
him my plans. I agree we need a scheme but
I know something will come to me. Those
brief moments together were everything and I believe I can be happy now that
they are safely locked away forever.
What paintings will we see together?
I think we’ll be drinking something pink.
I know I’ll see you at the next millennium.
