Horizon

white wash skies
bleed into the landscape,
coloring the ocean of your eyes
and the backyard of your mind
while I look up
at you
looking over my head
behind me,
once again.

Just forget him.
He's just a mirage now
A flickering image
NEVER a flame
(although he incinerated my
whole
s-e-l-f)

Don't hold your breath
I'm no longer ash

Smooth me
with your cool breath,
your verbal
remedies,
your  tender salves,
your lip balms

look down

at my
Self

lie in my hammock
in the twilight
of my dream

and BE with me
Here
Now
at my side
focusing on the 
pure bright
horizon
life has somehow become.
