I hold my hand to thee, my muse
From the silence after a storm
I fear that Ive fallen
Allowing the sun to break free
And me to open my eyes
To hold out
Reaching eternally toward nowhere
I awake at 7am
Blissfully unaware of the carousel of life
That has gone on before
Passed in the blink of an eternal eye
Passed in life
And death
Allow me to remember to breathe
Allow me to get on with today
Captured in black and white
Rustic enhancements
Burnt sienna colours my mind
Allow me to look at where I bleed
Life ebbs of silent release
And dreams
Dreams
Left behind scrawled on cardboard
Blackened charcoal musings
Hold a world at breath
Yet
When I look at you I see a demons awakening
Of a sojourn wasted in a single passing of time
Less of me will only hurt
Love lies buried in the dirt
These secrets we live
Carved into wrists
Obscured into memories
A blessing or a curse
I simply cannot
Will not
Live forever without you
In a single passing
I bleed
I weep
Forever I die
Beside you now I lay
Staring at the emptiness of space
Together in shadows
I find my beautiful death

full of pain and longing..love the burnt sienna and powerfully expressed emotions as well adrian
agree...really like the image of the cardboard sign as to me it always symbolizes homelessness...which accentuates the feelings you evoke well...
