Whisper painted brilliance

Scores the midnight skies

Sweet adagio born of wind

Reflected in your eyes.

Best intentions fading

Claims the light and fails to glow

Buried deep in ashes

Once the dream begins to grow.

I tasted ever afters

Dipped my heart in something more

And I hid behind the verbage

Now confetti on the floor.

But, I never saw the thunder

Perched in ambush for attack

Never dreamed the horseman

Would swing once then fade to black.

And, I never felt the anguish

That now bleeds from soul’s decay

Tossed as rubbish ‘neath the shadows

Where the lonely people play.



Oh, I’ll find a new horizon

Where my words will bring me peace

And, I’ll look for her in shooting stars

To bring my sweet release.

And someday I may just find the pause

If lightning stains the sky

To give my soul unto the wind

Once more before I die.

And know that perfect passion

Furrowed deep into the void

Where once the roots were nurtured

By sweet words long since deployed.

Oh God, that I might just replay

To feel my wrath as rain

And take the road I didn’t choose

To salvage misery’s pain.

Wouldst thou not send her back to me

Sweet child of tender charms

I’d gladly trade the stars of night

To rest within her arms.
