Cliffhanger

I wish I was wise
In this fake
Encounter with life.
Teetering on the edge
Like  a Drunken driver atop
Life
A  lonely cliffhanger awaiting utmost loveliness in the drop
Death shines its solitary moon on me from the precipice
Of tenderness
Sheer blank blackness majestic dazzles me with its vast shroud of compelling mystery

And I remember nothing anymore
Neither Life nor death
Neither love nor pain
Neither stillness nor motion.

In the darkness fantastic
The heights of achievement hide sarcastic
Stars twinkle the distance
Teasing suspensions of romance
Distant kiss of death
By Lover.

So overwrought
Misery pens my last poem crafts crazed suicide note... a lover's  kiss smudged tear tracks...

Looking through the glass
Of hard restrictions
A railroad track of memories
an attic preserved in heart shelves of treasures.

I am a wisp a wish in the wind
a wooden nymph a dryad
in the desert breeze a lonely whisper of empty kiss
a vacant pair of longing lips a
final greedy dying sip I'm everything that you may imagine
And nothing that you dared.

Will you please
Remember  this
Creature's
Wild cry yearning to be yours
To miss
But
never yours
To contain in bliss?

If I were wise
I would take a drink.
And another 
And one more
Till all I remembered of
My selfish self
Was that I was
Falling asleep.

Yes life my drunken driver
Falling off the precipice
...Moonscapes mitigate
madness
Dancing in desolation
Divine destinations.
Destruction devour me
oh be mine
Tonight

Starlight star bright
Falling star and shooting star
wIsh I wish I.
I wish not to be
Not
To be here.
