Wisps of the Night
©2013, Olan L. Smith
Wondering wanderers; wisps of the night
Reveals to you what was, while what yours within withdraws,
And wantonness withers. Slender filaments waxing
Transport who you were―your memoirs
Come as an eternal kiss wherefore you endured
Stress of relations gone astray, a moment's familiarity
Forever circles your crown, a seraph
Wings ethereally wrap corporeal [vortexes mount vortexes],
And creatures merge in deliberation, neither déjà vu, nor dream,
It's you becoming you, hoping the moment endures an era...
Nevertheless it weakens, and befalls to delirium, unconscious awareness's
Dismissed, the wisp undocks, its wings unfurl, thus departs the wisp.
