prelude to bliss
have you felt the moment settle
until time is standing still
the air so thick and heavy
that you cannot breathe your fill
the silence that surrounds you
and makes everything go still
the prickly goosebumps rising
as though you'd caught a chill
when really what has happened
is your heart began to thrill
angry to be so abused
and sad it's come to this
but know as you've known nothing else
this thing you'll never miss
your fingers sparking sunshine
on the lip of your abyss
this magic moment lingers on
like a slow and skillful kiss
confirming that you've been set free
to revel in your bliss
until time is standing still
the air so thick and heavy
that you cannot breathe your fill
the silence that surrounds you
and makes everything go still
the prickly goosebumps rising
as though you'd caught a chill
when really what has happened
is your heart began to thrill
angry to be so abused
and sad it's come to this
but know as you've known nothing else
this thing you'll never miss
your fingers sparking sunshine
on the lip of your abyss
this magic moment lingers on
like a slow and skillful kiss
confirming that you've been set free
to revel in your bliss
