Promontory

I can see you there
cloaked in red
of blood
of passion
of rebelliousness
on the promontory of
promises kept
and broken

I can see you there,
waiting, while I have
nothing to offer,
across this length of time
within this volume of space and stars,
but the beam of a million points of light
upon the ether.

I can see you there,
in the light of a brazen electronic screen.
The dark cannot crowd out
the artful stark relief of your features
as we meet on the new promontory
cloaked in knowledge shared,
of passion
of rebelliousness,
where promises will be kept
and spirits unbroken.

Promontory

I can see you there.
Bold.
Relentless.
Resilient.
Leaping from the promontory,
daring us to take flight with you.
