Melting Poem by david e golledge

You detach me from my life.
We touch and everything becomes senseless,
the world turns to existential void.

North is South, the compass confused.
Opposites repulse, primaries turn to greys.
Reality a mere abstraction, toyed

with by surrealists. Cubes and polygons
lose their clarity, perception pixellated,
TV screens shimmer with static.

The deeps inside, the bedrock of morals,
the endless abyss of the past.
all those things accepted as true.

Heartaches and emptiness,
all becalmed and less erratic,
melting into you.
