Farther


Nestled at the very center of my perception is all that I wish you to be, both the possible and the improbable
Names don't matter here because all I dream will be renewed day after day after day, 
disrobed and discolored, 
reversed and recovered, 
as circles never end
and cycles have no origin

And yes, perhaps it took the different gods six days each to create the world
But your Lady took only one to build mine
And some say they don't believe in evolution but they love you one day and murder you the next
So why not crank it up a notch?
And let us sit upon the lowest step of heaven to bask at the idealized view of the imperfect beneath even where we are

Distraught and peeled down to the layers we dare not reveal,
We see only the faces of past failures,
Nameless rejections to and fro,
We give and we take but never to rest the scales

And so life is that bitterest pill that I can't take without a stiff drink
Everything worth losing your consciousness to...
Everything worth dedicating your remaining days to... 
is a long shot

Culture massive dreams if you wish to live forever
Never forget this
It will take you farther
And her world is yours
And the world will know your names
