Way Too Far Away

Even though you seem way too far away,
remote as cold stars of unmeasured time,
my heart returns from void of snowy fields
so I can reach across abyss of fear
and give you treasure I found in the woods,
which must not be the shadow of my name.

Therefore I shall outline multiple paths
to gain majority of voiceless thoughts
across rugged terrain of secret hopes
where forsythia spills over river banks
in disabled meadow of broken doors
where curious children invent new myths.

Durable books contain our enterprise
to climb inflated hills of heritage,
impressive with knowledge of integers
introduced by jewels in faceless ponds
where mutual friends ponder new mystery
concerning novel ownership of faith.

Petulant lovers exchange moral jokes
based on productive game of give and take
fueled by fierce opposition to loss
despite arrogant state of curious doubt
that strengthens our fraught relationship well
enough to notice our hard-earned success.

Avoiding pitfalls every teacher maps
through pledge to investigate observed facts
with measured analysis based on fear,
we consolidate unspoken concerns
in clever proverbs old people recite
when they remember lessons learned from pain.

Through strife to become more consciously real
as organic being of chemical lust
I transcend bitter angst of suffering
which liberates my soul from prison camp
where my mind stays trapped after eighty years
though my body lounges in paradise.

Paradox of still shapes that never move
through shards of time devised by ticking clocks
reveals illusion of motion I rule
as spiral swirl computing finite curve
that arcs conceptual change of constant war
toward perfect impersonation of God.

Beyond the utmost bound of divine words
I follow knowledge on the Golden Path
through dream-tangled woods of pulsing masks
to catch electric star of blood-hot faith
that leaves me stranded in yard of your heart
so we can be together for all time.

Orpheus considers how distance between hearts of lovers provides energy for groundwork on which we base successful relationships with love.
