when all the world's in darkness its colours under blackness and rustling leaves on branches the only sounds around us the warmth of day has faded as sun for moon is traded and fragrant blooms are scented when gentle breeze ascendent with heartbeats loudly pounding our breathing synchronizing your flesh on mine arousing unite underneath the stars

Do you see me or even know I’m here? Waiting My arms open waiting ~ for your embrace My heart open waiting ~ for your kindness Do you hear me? My heartbeat louder than rain bouncing on the taut canopy of your umbrella . . . I see you I see you in technicolour your shimmering light casting everyone into shadow I see your gaze wash over me as if I don’t exist As in your eyes I don’t exist . . . I never did To you I’ve always been invisible

the shutters are down a light so bright, now absent in the dark bleak heart where does life go at the end of days? a vision of hope once within reach, has slipped below the horizon fading sight, as nightmares pull dreams from peaceful slumber grasping fingers of smoke hold tight you fight resist the darkness hold on to the light but it’s too late the shutters are down and your light so bright . . . has gone.
