Of You and the End of the Affair

Summary:
God, I'm fucking verbose. Must be a Welsh thing. For those who don't know, Wales sits within the UK and is such a proud and granite nation. We write in mountain and luscious lake versed-minds. Been emptying the vaults. And what of tomorrow? The day-after is always open to those sunsets wishing to burn.

Of you and tiny rooms 

where dripping taps 

curate yearning museums 

beside the kitchen sink  

 

Of ellipses…eclipse of rain behind madness,  

we rise as sunrise 

saluting never-ending noon, 

what lies beyond was the moon  

underneath blankets, undressing 

 

Of you and travelling in (f)light 

literary terrorists aboard fighter jet streams 

lust pilgrims sacrificed at atlas altar; 

it’s not the end which matters 

but the journey, in the end 

 

Of Sunday sunlight angles 

seeping into pillow corners 

obtuse, always 180 degrees from my heart, 

babe, the coke doesn’t work 

if you’d sniffed snow instead 

we could have been forever winter 

 

Lung’less breathing of homecoming sailors 

a navy fleet always circling below your naval, 

didn’t we know there were so 

many salacious hands craving you? 

 

Of you and ghosts wearing my favourite negligee  

oxygen ahoy, romance-breaths pirouette on cliff edge 

falling and then sinking as concrete ballet 

shoes into thighs and groins of naked seas 

 

Let’s just call the end pretend 

and start all over 

<< rewind, always on pause,

life isn’t theatre or cinema

 

Or, simply, tell the World we never met, 

oh fuck it, the vow(el) of silence, 

we never truly loved anyway
