Sonata Poem by Ella Veyes

Soft. Breathing gentle warmth of light. Possibilities, for you and I.
Can we dream. Let us dream. Don’t burn a tomorrow that outshines yesterday,
If you want to believe, believe.
Live if you breathe, for breathing, you live. Glass skies, they shatter when we part;
For who can kill your hope,
But you?
Swirling time and space. We are not so powerful.

Well what for love, a dying rumour? No. No,
A word in every day, in every look. It’s alive. It is alive.
Wish upon earth, not perpetual space. Not filling, fulfilling. Unfeeling,
Undying, beyond death.
So, what for you and I, a dying kind? No.
No.
Sonata. I love you in our every breath. A hallelujah.
For who can kill our love,
But us?
No not time. Or space. Or an earth teeming life, and guilt
Shall not touch us. An atmosphere between, don’t forget,
Another world.

Moonlight. Cast your silver, not grey. Cast it,
For us.
Cast it to earth. A rugged ruin of unreal. Life.
It remains beautiful.
We can start again. It’s still beautiful.
It shines. We shine. Beautiful.
And when the dust is dead, the road is unneeded. Like an earth forgotten. I love you.
Paint the sky. Before it dries, remember, before it’s time to forget,
We are all there is to remember.
