Opiate swirls and washes of colour
Faded to a musky grey, denim.
A mother of pearl sheen of elegance
Graced over everything we touch.
A soft glowing movement
That throws us out of sync.
A transparent glimmer of petrol
And glass and mysticism.
An aching, stretching tremble
Tumbling over ones self.
Soaring through seeped oxygen
Breathing in the poison.
Two hands against the shattered glass
A bubble of perspex surrounding.
Inside there is clouds and darkness
Contained, restrained, refined
You hover in illustrious indigo
Shimmering with tear filled eyes.
Wrapt in a bubble of silence
Retreating from me, a quiet surrender.
A shealthed sword and shield
Protecting you from harms way.
A barrier sparkling between us
And between us and a future.
Silently you breathe in the poison
Inside your guardians of silence.
Pushing me away
Because I push you away.
A glittering wall between us
And no way to navigate through.
Parted by silence I created
Silence renewed and strengthened.
While we lay weakened.
And seperate.
