Enchantments are lost
Within the cold and biting winds,
A tear drops for every shattered dream,
I see translucent thoughts
Struggling against the dislocated moments
And time tastes bitter on my tongue
You call to me with love-scented voice
From beyond the land of dreams
Where passion flowers like vine lace
Through the wreckage of our broken lives,
My wings bleed from shards of crushed sky
And time descends in jagged edges
My heart can’t remember when
Love began, your words’ soft caress
Invading my mind, lyrics to raise the tide
And music to lift the brilliant down,
Intoxicating dance of forbidden dreams
Falling in the empty space of my longing
Daggers of fear cut deeply through
Soft petals that opened to love’s touch,
Painful silence reigns within my emptiness,
Reality’s frigid laugh echoes…
I listen to the clouds’ mournful cry
And lightning strikes my heart
