---

Lost for words to bear

all the pain we share.

So cruel,

remains ineffable.

Wilted thoughts,

all fall like leaves from the trees.

My body turns

to light.

Inhabit the silence

and fill it with my voice.

Learn to love these wounds,

and crave their companion.

All disappears,

only flesh remains.

In the dark,

I will wait

for a new sunrise,

in a different time,

anywhere but here.

All we are is a dream

within a dream.

All we are is the heirs

of nothing.

I see the dusk

as phantoms over me,

and way beyond

the glare of the seas.

Weak and pale,

bathed in this majestic glint,

I give in

to the faint gloaming embrace.

Over the calm waves,

I feel the caress of the night,

slowly cradling me

staring at my dying eyes.

And the wind still blows,

the flowers still bloom.
