Dasran
I cease processing
relinquish control and bide
a closed eye, shuddered breath
disrupts time's stagnant line.
Perception paradoxes
implode and erupt to cascade
grace's relentless confusion
in the bittersweet we waste.
Pain's death for beauty's sake,
what I could and wouldn't forsake,
without regret, only haste
to savor and see and taste.
Forgetting to revel in
seconds slipping in multitudes
not grasping, only touching
in their stunning stunted passing.
An occasion,
a rare, dazzling scatter
of emotions surrendered
in tears for their escape
as a prolonged eternity
merges in a mortal embrace.
Feeling my trembles
while I shake and remember
forget and intake everything.
The sensation deafens
overwhelms and floods
for my brief eternity
collapsing in your arms.
