A walk with death

What is left inside of life is for one to find,

as hopes diminish dreams fall away.

White clouds the mind of the restless,

twisted thoughts fill my eyes with wonders.

Images of yesterday’s ghosts haunt my sleep,

playing songs of death in the heart of Love.

I see nothing around me but despair,

lost in a realm of fantasy so cold.

Falling into the light of darkness,

holding on for a single kiss.

She finds me there in my imagination,

feeling who I was once before.

Knowing my heart she sings to me in silence,

realizing my way was more than just a dream.

Exits made clearly broken by choices unseen,

taking back what was never truly mine.

Forest songs of delight fill my soul,

painting light around once darker eyes.

No leaves on the ground to cherish,

only memories of what I don’t recall.

I feel the light within so beautifully sound,

touched by a heart of love in red skies so black.

She knows my name more than the past defining me,

all of the pain let go of making who I am.

Lips brush my cheek with new desires,

soft wings kissing my heart with love.

I feel you, I see you, I want to know more,

closing eyes of tomorrow to reveal today.

Walking with me on a path of beauty,

we find a hope for love in the painful light.

There was nothing inside of my heart before,

only dreams of something never known.

Light in dark days becoming my way,

with you by my side, death is more than love.
