Heartstrings spill into a solitude of silence

As undissolved fears whisper to escape the violence
.

Dreams melt within the darkening hues of a silken sky

When my soul burns to a velvet lullaby

&

As the eve of night fades, each moonlit lash that lines my eye flutters beyond the depths of why

Thou shall not render me cry....

Do I die to a lie?  
.

Repercussions of a releasing breath slowly leave my chest as I falsy face my death
.

Only one moistened reprieve

Are my ending thoughts as

I can no longer breathe

Bloodied tears leave
.

As this angst entwines my soul's sonnet

Silver dewdrops fill the bruised space of every hearts laconic pocket
.

With wasted moments briefly swept away between the sips of  poisonous tonic

It's iconic
.

My heart seeks its timeless destiny past the saline sea of eternity

That's where you will see me

In the sea drenched to empty
.

I will sink within the indigo ink as the waves of the ocean softly blink

For which, I pause & rethink
