tangled fingers
tangled souls
tangled thoughts
tangled bedsheets
obscured vision
happily blinded by the idea of forever
human mortality
you damned fools
the body gives out
it dies.
a blossom,
sweet or flawed
faces the same fate
circumstances vary
reactions vary
but what lives on?
what legacy remains?
the heart stops
the body crumbles
the conscious falls
the passion still burns
the love is preserved
the love floats through the atmosphere
misunderstood bubbles of light,
felt on winter nights
dissolved on wet tongues
painted before eager eyes
illuminated as hope
as God
as art
life tangled
fates tangled
words tangled
death tangled
love tangled
