One Immortal Dream

Thank you for the friendly ardour
On that stricken face, that lovely quince
Of marching boots through deepened seas.

Forced into the cheesecloth, strained,
Elements remembered, guessed...
With honeysuckle sweet duress, undreaded.

My loving partner's glance reborn
Over sentimentality, shamed to taste,
Made less, and then rewasted, slated.

Entirely you, but left unwitnessed,
Not fathomed, but recited orders
Through a liberal ode, a legend.

Ships requested, stars declining
To ghostly frailty, shredded, tested
On to where there are no infinite shores.

On to where the focus slows
Like billowing paupers, those waiting angels
Impel the ether for, mmmm... those promised pleasures.

Taught like tempests, tempestous goads,
Told like monarchs who've soiled knights,
Like blood-yellow poppies...

Entirely lost, and loved! ...that cost.
Here the moon relives its light
Earthern now, drugged full dumb.

Asking for that sovereign eye,
Raised in sorrow, borne in trade
To steal a dreaded spark once more from mortality.

-Gray Squirrel
