Night comes ardent, as I am
sneaking wanting
ghostly shadows in the darkness,
inside I'm
peering, haunting
the task at hand, is very daunting,
The glowing moon, thick like a coat
whispered in the words you quote
And sung and every poignant note
A pressing face, a glassy window
I watch you as you sleep,
come in like a wanton spirit
my fingers grasp, descending deep,
A spine chilling spell,
is laid & cast
I know this breath
will be your last,
written in a heart that's glassed,
Left on beaches in a bottle
broken said like Aristotle
no time to wait,
... no time to dawdle,
I lie above & watch you there,
I stroke your face & stroke your hair,
showing you how much I care,
something I would never dare,
Lifting up the lockets clasp,
as demons play a retched rasp
draw to hear the breathless gasp
As you take a final breath
& lips so sweet,
are kissed by death
I lift you up into my arms
safe from pain & earthly harms,
surrendered to a haunting charm,
Look into my eyes to see
your every loving memory
hold me close Ma Dear Cherie,
With open windows of your soul
& reaching your desired goal
a broken heart is finally whole,
Getting down on bended knee
& as your wings turn feathery
you take my hand,
say hear my plea,
"I love you too,
my love to thee
thank you, as you set me free,
come follow me to Paradise
my soul for you I'd sacrifice,
spare no cost, the steepest price"...
Lovely man, you look so troubled
I ferry you, to Mr. Hubble
I lifted you from 'neath the rubble
I am not allowed ahead to go
this is something you should know,
like the wisdom of the blackened crow
I show you to the brilliant light
reward for such a noble fight,
as this will be your maiden flight
you have more than earned the right,
an angel heard your poets plight,
Enter through the big white gates
because this is love, & this is Fate
always knew we'd keep the date
no more need for you to wait,
No more sadness fills your days
your living in the lovely rays,
no sharper coin that you could pay
I must go, & bid adieu
thank you for the love we knew,
your kisses sweet like morning dew
my love for you forever true
a knot we tied cannot undue
I'll see you there again one day
I hope you hear these words I say
in fields of wheat your spirit plays
The vault of heaven, open wide
so leave your coat & go inside
& Earthly fears, including pride
listen as the angels sigh
my waving hand, is not goodbye
& not one tear you've left to cry
This is where your soul is calm
set in ease in groves of balm,
sing you in a peaceful psalm
I leave you here this corridor,
abiding love behind the door
a promise bled, a promise swore
as so many, gone before
I wait in patience, a thorny crown
back to Earth my soul is bound
returned you are without a sound,
another day has come and gone
I must be there, the coming dawn
though in your arms, where I belong
I wait again, for death.

Oh, the flood...came again, in the night, again literally hear this in my sleep,
Even if heaven isn't your thing
I hear the spirits weep
I hope these words of love come though.
