-
Dusk filled sky behind your eyes
Asleep to awake to asleep.
Delicate memories
Etched into my subconscience;
Cross examination of
The tainted evidence,
Smiles upon smiles—
Truth becomes lies
Periwinkle afternoons
Sitting under that tree.
Faded past rolls in,
Like a tide;
Reverberating day after day.
Timid shelters
From the rain,
Open your eyes
To feel my pain.
Twilight still lingers
Upon thy fingers—
Trace the moments forever.
Abstraction of the day
Bleeding from within,
This is killing my pen.
Sentence to fragment to sentence,
Incomplete thoughts reign,
The words are a complete run-on.
No person, place, thing, or idea
Can save me now.
Only an action will do.
Speak! verb, breath into me.
Don’t turn your head;
One look away and I’ll be dead.
Believe in me—
Hold on a little while longer.
Behind the dusk
There is always a dawn;
Spilling from the Heaven above,
Waking with the reality
That I am no longer alive.
Splash the water in my face!
Asleep to awake to asleep again…
It all tumbles down,
Pick up the pieces before they drown.
Can’t lose what is left,
Can’t keep what was.
Down and out,
Our lives are spent;
But, like a fresh quarter
The moon is back.
For a job well done
Is the return of the Sun,
Forgive my surrender.
Accept my love.
Sleep now darling,
Night has come.
It’s now behind my eyes;
Remainders of darkness sleep.
Until our dusk, it will keep.
