I see it before me
Empty,
I feel it cold to the touch,
It is like I am being called to it,
As if it wishes me to lie still,
Wanting me in an eternal sleep.
I stagger out side, I walk as if in a dream
To see a hole dug in the ground
Seven feet by two feet
Empty, water filled
I see a grave stone
Here lies, the words not complete,
I smell
Death,
Release,  
Peace,
Wet dirt as it rains on me.
I feel as though gravity is tugging at me
As it wants this hole filled
I am not dead, at least I think not,
I will not be told what is fate
My path is my own,
I will walk it, till complete
Then I will gladly surrender
To this the eternal sleep.
But for now I live, I do not hunger
Death,
Release,
Sleep,
I awake sweating, was it a dream
Was it imagination run wild?
I look down to my feet,
Soaked,
*****,
The scent of death on my cold feet,
I will live my life, never to give in
This may be my future,
But it is a long way off, each day is precious
I will live it fully,
Till my last breath escapes me, never giving in.

Art
From mind
To finger, from
Soul to thought, Pain
And happiness is our art,
Be it words or strokes of a brush it comes from the heart..

So much can change in a lifetime
So much can change in a few
At times you can't get that change back
Obviously I'm still not through paying for you

Bound and determined with what we had
Caught up in our meadow of time
Clinging to the right of each other
While holding that thought in mind

Not privy to our destination
Or at what point we would step off
With no hindsight in the mixture
Only the innocence of thought

So many years have come and gone
So many passed us by
To be replaced by second thought
In the haunting question why

I just wonder if you remember
What we held in the secret parts
And also the boy that let you dive*
*Deep into his heart
Steal away at twilight's calling
make your bed and tell your lies
meet me on the lonely hillside
bathed in guilt and alibi's.

Take me to the singing river
hold me under, wash me clean,
rid my spirit of this longing
breathe to life my only need.

Lay me down on emerald pasture, moonlight pale with eyes aglow
make my skin your only comfort,
savour pleasures yet unknown.

Touch me where he shall not enter
take your hands and soothe my soul,
press your holy weight upon me
taint my flesh and make me whole.

Take me home in sacred silence,
once again we mourn our deed
hearts now closed, our minds preparing
tales of time, meant to deceive.

Quiet guilt it will not linger
as we crave to taste once more
taken hearts and love forbidden
wrapped in lies forevermore.

Let the embers die
there's no need to say goodbye
what's done, is done now
there are no more tears left for us to cry

the winds of change have blown
uprooting all that once held true
the final song and dance are almost over
yet letting go is still hard to do
