the time before time
subtle breaths hang
the line before the last line
the words of a song never sang
resembling an exchange
between compassion and torment
somehow it is all too strange
from this velvet temptation
shadows dance
but there is not any clear translation
in the distance
like a faint echo
those soft in sultriness
pain cutting deeper into the marrow
leave me in a beautiful silence
no words from the silver-tongued moon
the fragility of my essence
nothing reveals from this ache I am not immune
crushed by
Dysnomia
devoured by unspoken bonds
to kiss the wanton muse
neither confession nor forgiveness in metaphor
imagination fingers fantasies I die listening to the ruse
sweet flowing words are not here no use of semaphore
no nothing that fate can seal
left behind with the insincere
what craving can reveal
a footnote to my private things
mourning in temporary cessation
with my verse tied to whisperings
moving to a new destination
I await reverence while love is leaving
desperate for what is denied
but still bound to believing all the words that lied
pleasing intimate did not call
my desperate moonlight has no means to an end
as my surreptitious eyes did recall
nothing flowing into my heart and soul nothing to amend
the moons fallen face out there in space
I await an ethereal visitation
waning wisdom all lost out of place
await the completion of this harrowing process
charms I never again would feel they leave
a cosmic vision gone from skillful to novice
as bewitching as any a witch could weave
as my appeals for sympathy land on deaf ears
skies of dark night moaned in monotone
swallowed by agony drowning totally in my tears
Stars belittle a wish for choices they do not condone
Mute caresses where lashes and eyes only weep
I beg to have one delectable kiss before I sleep
