I sat alone watching the world turn,
The sun shone onto the rocks below,
Reflecting like a child with a mirror.
Roses leaned in as if to pray,
Gods of ever witness to their plea,
Swollen petals fell, wilted.
A pond as clear as glass,
Held its ground to the wind
Filled like an empty tea-cup.
The sands of time strain its tears,
As we chase tomorrow,
Like a lover lost to yesterday.
"Have you ever seen a broken heart beat?
It will beat until all the cracks are gone;
Like a blacksmith above a forge."
A voice in the Dark,
The shadows before me,
Female, soft, smooth and eloquent.
From the darkness below,
Shimmering whispers echo
Like a robin perched at morning.
The walls began to erode,
Falling away under myself,
Her cooling embrace swelled around.
Her voice: a calling in song,
Empty as a smile from a Stranger.
Her hand upon my shoulder;
She whispered as a serpent to its prey,
“I love you, everything will be okay”
Caught in the shadow of her tongue.
A forgotten soul
Trapped in the darkness
Her aching breath freezes the beating heart.
I sat alone as the world turned,
Watched as the sun fell below
And all elegance fell away.
