Cryptogram

by Alisa Js

why tinker around with this sensation
of a million years behind if not longer,
recognition of a mirror
taste and thought
flashing inside and out,
would you toss out this awareness
without a second's hesitation
rendering impressions worthless,
in the literal sense ...

yet, there lives more than the literal
in this realm I've seen,
far more mysterious and profound
curious considerations beyond explanation
cryptically mystic and yet all so blatant,
to the sensitive soul
and the receptive heart,
a message conveyed from the inner source
waiting for ages, if not longer
don't lose me like Orpheus
when we've yet to dance,
in this enchantment we've stumbled across
the elixir is sweet and endearing,
but will it last to the next true moon's harvest?

I waited under the raspberry sun
attempted to swim when the morning arrived
when I looked to my left, you were nowhere around
I remembered you on my right ...

I love that last line. Almost chilling. Beautifully written and one of your best.
