The Songs Of Delilah

The distant, like air to air
I found a world
Scented
With the ultimate secrets
As in where to where
The name engraved
Grew wings
And drifted into the jasmine
That I feel now
The memories so thick
I can taste the me
In you
Where the high city
Named names
And the songs of Delilah
Seeking permanence in time through fragrance
Seeking justice
In the beauty of those memories
Like ashes, like waves, gathering themselves
Like the distant
Fruits of the sun
Feeding
The ultimate secrets
And testifying to fractured facts
Like how you set fire to life
Leaving pieces
That even the hunter could not gather
That even the songs of Delilah
Could not repair
I take solace in those memories
So thick
I take comfort
In knowing
That the world I once found
The distant
Like air to air
Where
You and I once sang
The songs
Of Delilah.......
