Broken Panarchy

Poem by: ChristopherErick
The sunset never looked so beige.
It was wrapped in resilience.
Portraying a rainbow phase.
The tower of sleep ,
Cloaked like ivory
around my band of dreams .
It shined so bright .
It afflicted sun beams
in distorted light.
This ring was my intention.
To draw your last retention.
I muttered out the lines .
But, your beauty
had me hypnotized.
This day has left me cold.
This dreadful day
has strayed from home.
Yet, we aren't asking for this hope.
Let's wander off into the mistic
and elope.
Ushers pile in.
Beneath the whirlpool spin .
As we say our final vows.
Something deep inside
begins to growl.
Wrap me up in always.
Drag me down in never.
My rage has caught a fever.
I never was that clever.
Slicked back drenched hair.
Shoes shined up so bright.
I've torn out my heart.
But I still survive.
The seasons become radical.
The strength of love is magical.
I feel the weight of paranormal pull.
Out of earth is a broken rule.
Looking down at what we can see.
Water of the seas
connect the world to me.
And with this oath
I carry you .
And with my pain
I curse you through.
And with a flash of this arrest .
A body's aching for some rest.
The rule is broken.
Cast the pearls aside.
Find your diamond in the tide.
If it's love that you want.
Why go on to deny ?
The portals migrate under
the blistered skin.
Where we feel us come alive.
Toss love within a spin.
After all we've been through.
My dreams are still hollow.
My heart has left me lonely.
And I'm too weak to follow ...
you.
Memories .
The only goodness.
Left within my mind.
With this promise
I slaughter sorrow.
I refuse to love you again.
Until tomorrow.
I take the blows from this attack.
And soak in the view.
Of the sunset behind your back.

He feels the paranormal pull...
will set him free? If only she...no longer denies it?
Proximity of closeness?....
Correct. The rule is faithfulness/devotion.
Which is where the word panarchy comes in. Panarchy is a word meaning a rule or dominion of the universe. Something of great definition. Such as loyalty. He feels the paranormal pull. An essence of Intimacy that he believes should be there.
However , a bond has been broken. This is sad. But he tries to relive the love he still has for her . despite her change in heart.
A little glimpse of light is shed. Which doesn't make the writing based completely on disaster , heartache, and sadness. : ),
Response
As you say, he feels estranged from her intimacy...but since he is not physically present, he may not know the reasons why...He speaks as if they have already married in this poem...and if they have he has reason to complain....for lack of intimacy would then seem rejection...but not if they are apart..
