In the beginning

 


In the beginning

there was love and music.

The truth that ticks

in the tocks of the universal clocks.

Two elements of our atomic hearts.

Before light, before dark.

Before earth, and the stars.

 

Before the sun and the moon

There was the galactic tune.

 

The song of the emptiness.

 

The rhythm of time, before time

had even begun to chime.

 

In the beginning there was nothing

but the beat. That rhythmic ripple

in the cosmic seas, and as the

waves emerged from nothing,

they added their

own delicate percussion.

 

The dust began to swirl,

forming worlds. Chiming along,

woodwinds to the song.

In the distance the spheres

sung in echoes.

A choral explosion of

of expression, notes

that rose like hills and fell

in crescendo

like the frayed ends of time herself,

somewhere far in the untold future.

 

The song sung of love.

For one. For all.

For now, and for future.

For yesterday, today

and days yet to be.

It sung of you and me,

it sung of they and them,

he and she.

Beast and beauty.

Feast and hunter.

It sung of days yonder.

And in all

it sung of laughter and wonder.

 

In the beginning there was song.

In the beginning there

was a note played into the void,

and the void sung along.

In the beginning there was a chord,

A striked chime across

the burgeoning worlds,

one of hope, acceptance and love.

 

And in the end, there

will be a scratched record,

warped and wobbling,

a distant recording,

faint but still playing.

As the needle repeats

the phrase over and over.

Love. Love. Love.

Before fading away

into the failing galaxy.

Under fairground skies.

 


Dancefloor eyes

under

fairground skies.

She sees the wonder

far and wide.

She sees the seas part

for the heart inside.

She sees the sands drawing

love heart moats

around her feet. Paper boats

floating across the sunrise,

and she hears subtle notes of spring

singing the morning in,

for what the future day may bring.

 

And her sunflower eyes

walk underneath

fairytale skies.

She beholds a dream

upon these

golden streaming

sunbeams. A tree,

its branches dancing

to an unheard melody,

and she sways side by side.

Smiling far and wide.

As the mystic rhythm

moves the heart within.

 

In pleasure boat eyes

upon waters of midnight.

She sails closer to sleep

as the sweet tones of the

tranquil paradise flow through

the bedsheets of time,

and in a momentary

flickering of reality,

she sees the moon leaning in

to kiss her goodnight,

And saying one word,

believe.

Believe in the melody,

in the memories that sift

in glorious simplicity.

You are beautiful

like the leaves of a tree

floating softly to land

a heart into your hands.

In the mirror

 


In that mirror,

a practised smile.

Yeah, I’m fine.

Face in denial.

Smile... Too wide.

Smile... Too toothy.

Smile... Too thin.

None are fitting.

The eyes

not joining in

with the way

the cheeks are lifting.

The eyes

showing

only blank

dark voids inside,

like the deepest

ocean of a heart that

collapsed and died.

 

In that mirror,

a practiced pretender

puts on a mask.

The perfect disguise.

A contender for the grand prize.

The clown that secretly cries,

the joker in a pack of lies,

the smile that rises but never

gets higher than the waterline.

And that sinking feeling

floods over eyes again,

drowning in solitude

over the love which sits

in a throne room

a million miles from him.

The queen of hearts,

and her perfect grin.

 

In that mirror,

choreographed hellos

fade into brick wall goodbyes.

And smiles never lie,

except when they are painted on

in precision,

by an expert at hiding it all inside.

A practiced speech

that won’t ever leave

the house of his mouth.

The practiced speech

of a love that sits

forever out of reach.

 

In that mirror

depression

stares back at him,

like an old friend

waving in greeting,

only depression wears

the reflective face,

Smile... Too wide.

Smile... Too cheery.

Smile... Toothy and thin.

Depression

hides the truth within.

The love story he dare not spin,

for this story has no beginning

just an ending

with a smile fading.
