Love Poem: Abstract Comfort

Abstract Comfort

stars pour like lustrous rain as they separate
excreting lights tender in my eyes
if only it was that beautiful...
interruptions divide us in prismatic gloom
brittle hearts prick like needles to our veins
our kiss spreads a swell of heartache
passionate love is our survival
the moments change and we splinter into two
peaceless feelings breathe on the back of my neck
sadness compels a new voice of stone
tears cleanse the thoughts we smudge
in hopes to paralyze the days apart
scented airwaves salt our disintegrated stitches
my days cannot heal without you
I tattoo your smile on my mind
to raise the sky from the ground’s ambitions
flaking metaphors spill like dust
tacky love songs breed visions on obscure wings
elevated beyond the reach of time
I’ll get you back in a rainbow’s frequency
and sew the color to your eyes
kissing the flavor trickling from our hearts
