Hold me in the shadows
While my heart
Bleeds out the emptiness
And dead promises
That filled my dreams
And kept me
Chained to you©
Hold me in the shadows
While my heart
Bleeds out the emptiness
And dead promises
That filled my dreams
And kept me
Chained to you©
There’s nothing left behind
All that I am
Can now be found
Here
With you
A promise kept
My days unassuming
Are now complete©

Running
Battered feet
Unwilling heart
Along the way
Bitterness sets in
Walking a dark path
Timely intervention needed
Route 192©
The poet
Hands flowed
With sensual Formality
Words engraved
A spectrum
In time
A master of the art©
Fleeting breath
Still waters
Time surrender
Loosing the fight
Holding on
Finding the light
I still believe
There’s a way©

Facing reality
A final contemplation
To let go
Of a world
That trembles and break
When I whisper
Your name©
Our destiny
Forge upon the gallows
Calling forth
The deed that bind us
In mercy we survive
This is the story
Of sacrifice©
It was love
Sitting on the cusp
Of forever
Broken but beautiful
We never die
But etched Our final chapter
In the remnant of time©
