Total Eclipse of the Heart

by Poet on the Piano   Sep 16, 2010


Electrocute me against gravitational pull
because the radical stars coerce every milky bone
until I am begging to fly past galaxies.

I doodle your heart as my own universe,
the moon shadowed sketch of your face
and while I feel the life igniting deep inside,
heat flares quiver with concentrated chemistry.

1 unnoticed smile that can synthesize
2 dusky eyes always searching for a fate
3 ways to listen and discern a heartbeat

if my communication is calculated correctly,
this cloudy meteorite will crush our oxygen
but we can breathe through each other
and the big dipper cannot tip us over.

Electra lights shape the night
free illuminations waiting,
constellations will swirl under feet.

Take me into your blaze
before I lose my consciousness,
an ink patch once upon a desert planet.

    The first stanza is my favorite. Overall I found this uniquely and well expressed, churning in its meaning. Thank you for sharing.
