All Once Loved



All Once Loved
=========

Reluctant Breath of Madness
On Staccato Hail in Time
For Breathing-Time Altered Sadness-Mind

Depression Within, Happiness Without
Anger, Rage, And Rise of Hate
Not a Fate but Choice Stated Bland
Vanilla Madness Plain

Significance in Moment
Upward Down Saddened Bound Crazy

As Niche In Time Saves Mind
Where Niche In Mind Saves Life

A Life of Gray Matter Spotted
Crazy Damage Em Are Eye
When of Damaged Mind
Where Em Lay There A Me
Mirrored Back Again In Vision

An Eye Layered of Haze Coated Black
An Orb of Dead Memory Clung to Life
Preserver In Mid-Sea of Seeing Back
Reflection Verse of Detail
Held Tight To Life Remembered When
In Long Day's Need of Seeing Night
Clear As Day Where Daze of Sight Dimmed To Black

When What's Seen of Memory
Is You And I Alive In Time
Past or Pleasant Realities
Fate Set In Mind Cemented Hard
To Smile Soft to Touch
Smoothed Off From Darkened Negative
Positive Lights Blinding Ray of Hope
When Peopled-Memory Given Life
In Passing Day for Night
In Love Reactionary

All Once Breathed is Sadness Without Love
And Is Loved When Breathed Life
In Persistence of Love Made Vision
As the Still Form Gives Way to Motion
In Poetry Moving Emotion.
