Relict
The light has fled, your eyes are dim
my own are blind in sorrow
Heart bled dry, no tears remain
This pain too great for me to bear
Grief a burden I cannot endure
Your love was my light
your life the sun of my world
Now I live in the darkness of your death
Clinging to the shadows and shades
I search for some glimmer of you
a reason to continue my journey
and I find nothing.
Temptation
Your voice steals through
my soul
luring me from twilight dreams
Offering yourself to ease
my pain
Do you even understand
this seduction you play?
No games, no rules
no safety, no promises
Just the hint
of change, the idea
of passion, the chance
of peace
And if I accept, will you own
me, body and soul?
If so, will I like it?
Wow. You have a real gift, M-A. Beautiful.
ReplyDeletethanks. i like what i write, but most of the people i know don't. my mom told me "write something happy" go figure.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to be said for authenticity. If it happens to be happy, so be it - just as long as it's real.
ReplyDeleteDamn M-A, did you nail it!
ReplyDeleteI sure hate folks who say "I know how you must feel"! A pox upon them!!!!!!!
man, canthz, i hated people who said that. it's one of the most offensive phrases in the world at that point in your life.
