the journey

I want diamond vision
a shimmering lake held up to the sky
at the top of a summer dream
the elaborate flood of petaled light
streaming
through peach clouds
into the gorgeous moments of the future

I want to know
the honey beauty laying before me
the love that will shoot through my soul
moaning the sapphire symphony beneath eternity

yet to picture
each facet before it rises above
is to worship beauty before
beauty is denied
the raw flavor of reality
is lost to a mad want
need
to have
to control
to crush
it’s all so delirious
so frantic
rising
into
the realm of
power beyond power beyond
sanity

I want small eyes intimately knowing the one petal
falling to the ground

I want now
