Whispers I Breathe

Cold

Is all I feel

Three winds, haunting

Whispering over my skin

Like nine hostile feathers they hum

I breathe-my chest rises and falls

As touch translates to music

And still air trembles

Till all I hear

Is silence

Wish

I dare not make

For quiet is wisdom

When only darkness listens

With bated breath, stalking its prey

I breathe-one shadow of movement

And murder the trickling cry

Let water flow, silent

Till gone, at last

The spectre

Wait

Is all that's left

Drowning the numbers

As time blurs past and present

Melancholy, what floats and swims

I breathe-the water fills my lungs

Washing, weeping, sinking

Alone and drifting

Till empty eyes

See death

Say!

I must find you

Among dancing stars

That shatter my mournful night

Or stray, lost in waves of phantoms...

I breathe-my soul becomes undone

Flies, limitless, for one last time

For I can only dream

Till love rebounds

In life
