Epiphany

Under the fullest moon

Shone the brightest vision upon a raging sea

Under this night sky

A cloud removed it shade and sent it’s inside out

With this moment it came to me

The words that were never mine

I knew what you had to say

Rolling like the fleeting clouds in this night sky

You spoke to me

Your words boiled within me

Like that raging sea

Sending chaos to every corner

We’re here again!

I knew what you wanted to say

Rolling like the fleeting clouds in this night sky

You spoke to me

This time with my voice

You impregnated me with hordes of pain

Much like the one I knew you felt but never shared

I spoke to me!

You used me to explain why you stayed silent

You used me to relay this transcending feeling

You used me to wheel your tears

Hypnotized by this elusive smile

This unguarded relation

This unprepared conclusion

To fool no one but yourself

But now I stood fool for you

As I looked upon my mirror

To say what you wanted to say

To my face

With my mouth

In my ear

In my head I waged war

Slit my wrist and wished to die

Turned purple in the face of love

Having nothing to offer

I stood fool

Constructing the sentences

Letter by letter to tell myself what didn’t escape your lips

I bawled!

Melted like wax within my stare

Being you for me to understand what you kept inside

I became you

In the light of this moon

I wished country joy

I wished no sea still

I wished no peace abide in any place

I knew what you wanted to say

You used me to tell me

And I stood fool listening…
