In parted latitudes the starlight's hindered by A moratorium for what we left behind I'll be my enemy and you'll part out of sight This forlorn universe sings redshift blues tonight The long lost acuity your psyche sacrificed A revenant entity laid down here by my side I'll be my enemy and you'll part out of sight This forlorn universe sings redshift blues tonight Swim in the deep sea of molten flesh Spread your parables all over my chest Pain-fraught lungs underwater Desolate oceanography Nine months navigating and I'll fly above the sea Of stars that tempest violently Sparks of kindred orbs wash over me Flickering sorrow ignites redemption's fuse But how can a man sail this galaxy without staring at the abyss I would voyage wide across the seven seas To atone for the frail canvas I mend since Ships sailing space sometimes see storms And astray the winds sent me I would hoist the whitest flag Celestial body repossess But your satellite can't escape This catatonic tenderness Beyond the veil I've searched for Shadows of you Before the red-eyed fractured you I would voyage wide across the seven seas To atone for the frail canvas I mend since Ships sailing space sometimes see storms

Nine Clouds 03:54
Envisions fractal forms Collects slivers of sympathy This cryogenic soul Would sacrifice the forest for the smallest tree Secluded consciousness Miscalculated devotion Nine thousand clouds I weep For a souvenir of your slender impression of loving me Take my hand, I'm falling For what I've become Cannot revere reflections of me Take my hand, I'm falling For what I've become Cannot revere reflections of what's best for me Nine thousand clouds Can a nebula's worth exceed the preceding star? Nine thousand clouds Can it learn to treasure its shine? Take my hand, I'm falling For what I've become Cannot revere reflections of me Take my hand, I'm falling For what I've become Cannot revere reflections of what's best for me

Waltzing through breezes of Disintegrating nuclei Backhanded isotopes Sent flying northbound Flailed intentions Tarnished wish of light Your pouring soul Melted dear chalice of mine So pour one out for thee Requiring of all that I've loved So pour one out for thee Requiring of all my love Former living thing I see For my life I can't break free From our collapsing sanctuary Former living thing I want to Form a leaving plan from you From everliving foregone shades of blue

Along the skyline of our minds Constellations we could map until the dawn Fusing hands on feeble grass Spotless hues contra question marks Your singularity prophesies, I've ever feared, But a black hole come to light The light devours me For I slit my world apart 'Cause I forgot A piece of me Up with the stars So bring down the sky I'll wave your magnitude away While wavelengths magnify The sky fell down And nothing felt quite like before When the sky fell down Strelka's eyes shone red like Proxima above And I saw you crumble apart Wreak havoc, entomb all sense of yourself And I felt you fall apart Beneath a million scarlet blues-singing stars I've lost myself for you 'Cause I forgot A piece of me Up with the stars That I can't reach 'Cause I forgot A piece of me Up with the stars So bring down the sky

Like voyagers before us Gazed rings afar The purest halo Set fingers alight Though we pioneered Elysium Parted afterglow My deserted company Left soaring titanic task For a dragonfly without its wings Will crash into Hyperion's core Fly away from this collision course Or I will Close my eyes And hope to disappear In saturnine Saturn dreams Void splits us halfway Cassini of paranoia Voids but any light I've shone on your path I would build eternity before our eyes If I could bear the next five minutes by your side Or the five after them, or the ten, thousand, million (...) My dear, I can't do this anymore My dear, I can't do this anymore For the path is fully dark ahead And azure you is nowhere to be found Take my slender, funny-looking hand And I'll sing one other sonnet For I know but taking care of you Though I long for calm after the storm Take my scarlet, fucking freezing hand And we'll get through this together My dear For no pill will bring you back again And we hurt ourselves for far too long Cut this withered, earnest fucking hand And I'll get through this abandoned My dear

Falling stars shiver Invisible behind ascending smoke The parallax between our future And the shrine that burns below Dioxide, kindling of our echoes Shift red for nevermore Where vermilion sails wash ashore Castaway from sailing storms I can't get this feeling off my chest Feels like a methanol fire Burning my soul to silver ash And no one else can see What I've withstand oblivious to myself Red Ever since I let you Come in and set my soul ablaze The colours of spring Spring your memory back around For sails aflame in space Shall quiver with no sound Infatuated cartography Leads me lost to drown Within cerulean rippling And fiery skies I would live in your ashtray Fancy you smoke me to the clouds Shift red for nevermore I can't get this feeling off my chest Feels like a methanol fire Burning my soul to silver I can't get this feeling off my chest Feels like a methanol fire Burning my soul to silver ash And no one else can see What I've withstand oblivious to myself Red Ever since I let you Come in and set my soul ablaze

In parted latitudes the starlight's hindered by A moratorium for what we left behind I'll be my enemy and you'll part out of sight This forlorn universe sings redshift blues tonight The long lost acuity your psyche sacrificed A revenant entity laid down here by my side I'll be my enemy and you'll part out of sight This forlorn universe sings redshift blues tonight The sky fell down And nothing felt quite like before The sky fell down And nothing felt quite like before Quartet of eyes Reflect a symphony upon the wind shield Blend with lights, our celestial bodies Foreign drive, iridescent inquiry How much time left to dream of you and me? After skies were brought down Due to quantum entanglement Reality we knew was split apart And I've tried my best not to Turn my bath water red Sailing space, mending canvas of who I am I'm sorry and hope you're too So long and farewell I'll find you in the stars

about

redshift, noun, astrophysics,

a Doppler-like process in which the light coming from far away objects in space is seen to move from the blue end of the spectrum to the red end as it moves farther away, for the wavelengths become longer.

to the dispirited, the phenomenon of two kindred souls breaking apart, after one collapses into a black hole.

thank you to whom helped me through the hardest period of my life.
