Wide Eyed and In Her Wake
She passes when the sun is overhead
No shadow but stirs the air
Eyes flaring like supernova
Hurricane swirling in her hair
Tempestuous fury trails closest
In her wake is apoptosis
Passing wonder and great attractor
Dancing wavelength mimics laughter
What is it that this girl is after?
Often empty contemplation
She mourns the sudden devastation
As she finds her romance lacking
The hounds of hell begin attacking
It isn’t her fault she destroys the world
Tidal waves form with just one word
All is well when she’s in phase
Once it comes every thirty days
Crashing on us like that tidal wave
She passes more than once each day
Traveling along an ancient way
And if she’ll pause her course creation
To dance with me in complication
Laughter oft precedes disaster
The world at her feet- no other place to be
Does she even notice me?
I can’t help feeling my mistake
When I’m wide eyed and in her wake
Abyss
Crushing depth around me
Cold runs just as deep
Darkness swirls in misty currents
Autoluminescence gives me hope
Self-absorbed and alone
40,000 feet in four hours
Sudden movement clouds all
Watery cacophony drenches the quiet
In liquid tremors
The fear is tangible when nothing else is
The abyss calls your name
Reaches out to your soul
And presses the life from you in a loving embrace
Wide eyed in your wake
Alone at depth is all I can take
Hold my hand
If you can find your way
It’s death in here
And never day
