Sunset
Stretching
Arching it’s back
Reaching to the darkest corners
Light fades on life once again
Do you ever get over it, I wonder?
Your light like little coins stuffed in my pockets
Lost
My heart so confused
Empty and full
Where did you go so quickly?
Like music notes played
Suddenly cut off down a rabbit hole
Such silence
A discord that struck my ears like a mortar
Like missing teeth
That my mouth can’t forget
I run my hands over the place where you were
How can my heart beat so
This hole so large, it’s a wonder
In my dreams you are just out of sight
Forever golden now, in my memory
Your wings lined with warmth and satin
The smooth weave of lives you touched
Hidden in the folds; glory glory glory
The love you left behind is a road
First grown together, now apart
Direction lost, but feet still running
Liquid disquietude
Is all we can try to grasp
You and I
Me and you
Twin oceans in summer on separate shores
The winter hush and new moons are all that is left
The waves cause such a racket against these sands
I cannot fathom
I cannot express
How dark the night gets
Without your bright candle to burn
And wipe out the shadows
And oh! That day
How my heart leapt into my mouth
While your photo stared off into some new horizon
Like the murals of old
The walls lined with comrades
I watched you as you passed
Ornate in silver
Carried on the shoulders of angels
A sea of reverence you waded through
And flags danced overhead
You were led
Led through a waterfall of flowers
While caravans of Fire waited outside
The masses followed behind
What else could they do, but follow the sun to earth?
Perhaps I will have to search the skies
For a new star with your name on it
And you can give a whisper in my ear
Tell me of dreams and milky ways
And that all is well
Because your shine lost, dimmed my darkness
Blacker than black
More alone than I prepared for
But isn’t that just the best time?
To see the Brightness of stars?
