flesh and bone
separated by stone
won't know
when you've gone
away from
home
where desires lay
Barren
on sandy shores

in the empty halls of my heart
cobwebs have grown
sunlight has not shown
but the memory of you
haunts the greying stones
where painful memories lie
waiting to be looked upon
once more

no more

My love
Chases the cold away
Leaving only the recalled
Warmth
Of his insides
That encircle me

My love
Frightens November
Into May
And grows the
Leaves
Just for me

My love
Oh my love
Sings sweet music
Taking away the sorrow
And leaving only
tender melodies

Lurking behind
years and words
some things are
best left
undisturbed

Things I remain to be
Lost in reverie
For a life ne'er meant to be
I hold on to unreality

Turning stones into dreams
Shrugging contempt from me
I loathe your incongruity
The shackles that bind me

Without I am within
As lost as I am found
You were ne'er mine
And me, for me only

Shadow friend
Could but chant
The beauty of my sordid moon

Raining mist
Above their heads
Rusts dreams of spring to black

Sweet honey watches
as petals play lightly
upon aching whisper

Urging time away from youth
and crushing beauty
frantic life passes swiftly
