into the bliss
this moonlit kiss
of light that lingers
lengths between the
fingers
tensile touch
save you
said you
the seasons storms
had gathered all the
steel and charms
like glitter on the edge
of stitches holding
wounds that never
heal
had we become the
vessel once bright
now seasoned
with the pain and new
dark depths desires
ask me to bear you
aloft in baited breath
a beautiful balloon
of light and grace
the ground the
treacherous place
you trod angrily
and broad
sweeping the horizon
to be conquered
victor to victim
Vae victis
slain to darkness
and light
submerged
reaching
dazzled dizziness
depths
the brilliance
of its brush
the drug
forever bound
in the heart
of the grip
tinged and tainted
tingles and tilts
swirling swerving
unnerving
i was the audience
to the death
defying magix of
madness
that you craved
that lust
of powerful
powerlessness
a concubine
a constant
crave
thirst never
slaked
a claim
ere staked
again and again
in that crushed
rush
the bottom never
reaching
a gape non
beseeching
the throe of
the audience
struck
the show of
one
rockstar pupil
adulation love
what shall
this all
become
and we live
brushing moments
of its terrible ash
with a smile
and a nod
while the while
the dark fire
rages
on

I think the second while of the top line of last paragraph..
would be wile...
because of the willfulness
the wise clever guile of it
throughout the gist of the poems
weaving complexity
....
