My heart I left buried
In the sands flooring the lavender sky
Where the curves of the perilous sea
Lick down ether on earth.
My soul I left haunted
The sunlit idyll and moonlit euphoria
Of the winding streets
In the city of the lavender sky;
My entirety I left lost,
Swimming in the unsounded depths
Of this esoteric serenity;
Drowning again and again
Dissolving with the current.
I am left undone
Soaring through the mellow clouds
Caressing that lilac sky.
Indulging in the numbness of senses
Amidst this salt-soaked-respite.
I have been left unmade,
Unevolved, ungrown, unlived,
Unlost-to be lost once more,
As the force of the foaming sea
On my entire being Ravages tenderly.
I find the way back no more
As I am left to be nothing
But the sand, the dust,
The air in my lungs.
The billows lurching in menace.
The fallen leaves, the broken twigs,
The flies buzzing incuriously.
The ice melting on burning sand.
I am left to be nothing
But the vast lavender sky.
With💙
