The glassy surface of your mind creates a residue

Of second guessing and curious feelings

He needs to share a word; lend him an ear

Or take the silence in with welcoming arms

Your grace soothes the absent and trouble minded

He needs a sense of comfort or he will break and disappear

Measurements freeze and come to a smooth halt

As he takes a deep breath and exhales out an emotion

of which homey dew and eternal galaxies reside

But also that of tragic glasses and sullen heroes

The ghost of a man pulls you closer in a loving gesture

You understand the concept shown from gazing upon inmates of a world unshared

yet it still slips like the first fallen leaf on a sapling

You need to catch your breath or stabilize your heart

His lips move like petals about your material skin

Your own petals crave and relish the feelings of want and need

He holds you tight as you reflect on the phrases unspoken from the past

Somewhere in the mind of the forgotten hero

he too hid behind a secluded boundary away from the truth

but as it now takes form in actions

theres a certain soft, dark tranquility about it

amongst the misguided atmosphere of a passer-by's point of view

regardless of the world and it's spreading fires,

the bodily souls merge.
