The sun has come and gone
The moon eclipsed
The wind has run away
The sea receded

How many opportunities
Have been lost
Because of waiting for
'The right moment'

I feel like I'm the last soul alive.
Can anybody hear me? Am I
the only drunk man on Earth?
Once we were lovers but now
you live in a shaded grave.
You always had the best.
Why won't they answer me?
Calling all stations...

the rage.  the spark.  the flame.

you set me on fire.

and waited.

as I turned to ash.

I am not phoenix.

I will not rise.

you had one chance.

and you blew it.

i never meant my horrid thoughts,

to stain your outer thighs.

you took the stars,

you took your eyes.

no less, alike the heaven's sky.

so heavy, is that cloudy lie.

simple, still await an angel sigh.

i'm watching it all fade
before my very eyes

as the light
what little left there is

flickers

so, i thought
this is a contrived
effort
as is
your reading
of it

not a thing
of beauty kneeling
before you
seeking
anything
at'll

then what
do i show up here
for
if not
to be beauty
loved

smile
forlornly
at me
and i
will do
the same
