So here we are again

In
This Action They Trans-versed What Already Was Rehearsed
(Stories
of the Two)
Life is forgiving
This life forgetting the
next
A chain of memories
dissolving into self
Not paying for the scars
This one was for free
A devil gives only what
is wealthy when it is lost
Turning pages in
anticipation following you just to see
In that time I spent
staring at a lovely space
My head held to low
missing every beat
No sense in taking it all
I found myself waiting
for the fall
In autumn time I avoided
stepping on the leaves
While you dissolved in
their misery
As we stumbled to meet in
the middle
We ended up stepping on
our feet
Every part I remember
Especially when I rubbed
them free of soreness
Your transition was
warranted
With this revolution I
was left with defeat
Solo los quedamos con
Dolores
Glimpses of the lovers in
past lives
Of lovers in twisted
embrace
Now on this cloud
A time line of encounters
A radiating spectrum
flooding my consciousness
An awaking of the past
I can only make sense
what weathers
This subliminal task
A body with its breath
fingered though mine
Mutual termination with
passion as a noose
Mended hands flowing away
from the truth of the fire
A growing mound growing
old and tangled
Enemies of the state
finding
destruction in our hate
Individuals of influence
dancing in a hall
Judging not
who we were
what we were
where we were
But living tall
Children touching
holding
sensing
questioning
A rock with its shadow
A rain fall on a meadow
The brightest one in
which I saw you across the hall
One glimpse I knew I knew
you then
Never again did I see you
again
To make sure I had a
chance
I replayed again
Far I am from the one I
was
I can only recite what
never was
With knowledge came a
void
A void of miss-care and
neglect
My rational mind becomes
a holy reject
