DisgracedI've always known
I can't take another step
where the moon
marks an opalescent boundary
to my darkest dreams
and the sun burns all hopestime goes by
dragging old vices
while you keep waiting
regretting, longing...
perhaps chasingI'm an effigy,
painted on the wall
an ancient embroidered tapestry
neglected under a pile of dust...
ghosts have no memory.sand, like blood spills
through your cold fingers
and you've lost
what you've loved
and you still love
all that you've lost.cry...
no you can't!
a dead soul never mourns
only waits
hiding in the shadows of loneliness
collecting heartbeats
and whispers,
luscious kisses,
and futile caressesOnce in each lifetime
you need a centennial love
to embrace this sempiternal solitude
and lean a warm touch.Dedicated to Nyhterides
