soft seared footprints
fade down to
bent stems, folding back
into the sky.

ridges, across the inlet,
spell out acres
we could run away to;

but, don't move.

you're all
my eyes have
been seeking out,
lately,
intently,
on all streets,
all buildings
and bars,
in small hope that,
some night or
day soon,
my tired gaze
will catch
yours.

The shine of the blade,
The slice of a knife,
What a double- edged sword,
to end a depressed life

The magnificent red liquid,
Falling to the floor,
What a glorious night,
To knock on hell's door

No whimpers or pleads,
No hello's or goodbyes,
No regret or sorrow,
Not even a cry

My heart is replaced,
With a dark, miserable hole,
That once had held,
A daring soul

For I have seen,
The reality of life,
Soon to be ended,
By a beauitful knife
