When Dreams Come Late

Catch me in the dark

Tear me from my will

Come & light this place

Where I’m so lost & still

 

Still free to decide

But cursed not to know

Is the path this far

From others, where I go?

 

Kiss the night away

Make its wings wither

Beneath the cover

Of shards, dirt & glitter

 

Within my darkest hour

Within the shades I make

I recognize

Everything I’ve lost within

What barely lives, but never dies

 

Within the mist I’ve brought

I see you

A mirror shattered

Old reflection

Frozen, & it’s still so true

 

Once caught in the dark

From life torn away

Breathing beyond dust

Face of China clay

 

All that I have learned

To you I wished to give

A gift of silent lunacy

The perfect way to live

 

Everything is wrong

Anything is right

The truth forever gray

& lies black or white

 

But everything you touch

Everything you see turns to stone

My goddess with a wrong spirit

Which one of us is now alone?

 

Behind these eyes you bought

I can recall

A lifetime that put us together

We could’ve been one

But never all

  1. Poetry at its finest! Something about your work that just puts a calm over me. I can’t explain it. As always it’s always a great experience when it comes to reading your work. Well done on this splendid piece!

  2. You’ve got this way off thinking, that I wish I were able to emulate.

    Even a little bit, would be to my benefit.

    So great!
