Polaris
To the bone

      To the end

As a queen

      As a friend

Never lost

      Never through

Ever yours

      Ever true

In the morning

      In the rain

Take my life

      Take my sane

Be my love

      Be the now

Feed my hunger

     Fill the void

Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending,
who made the sun bring the cold winter chill
Why are kind gestures an act of pretending,
how did our heartbeats become ever still

Where is the joy that we found ourselves sharing,
happiness falling on much darker days
Meadows of flowers now weeds never caring,
blue skies are hidden behind sorrowed haze

Dreams slowly scattered on desolate oceans,
washed up on shore as the sandcastles die
Tossed overboard with the weakest emotions,
salt coated tears the horizon does cry

Once perfect mornings now afternoon weary,
gazing on edges cut sharp by the storm
Forecasts are sent in a poem that’s dreary,
standing afraid as the thunderclouds form

Hiding our eyes behind last April’s fashion,
no cotton fabric for sale on the rack
Finding that drab is our lone source of passion,
marked down for clearance way out in the back

When did we give up on promises pending,
taking a place after push comes to shove
Why couldn't we have a fairy tale ending,
what ever happened to forever love

A reflection shows
A face which I chose,
To make-shift grins
and tiny innuendos

But behind the veil,
Lies a face more pale
And oh so much more visceral
The rain often makes me wonder,
Whether it is time to just surrender
The essence of what I thought was relevant,
Slowly turning into a blunder.
Where is the inspiration you need for the perseverance you want to breed?
