In Time

I’m going to ride into her darkness

Streak across a midnight sky

And burn like a falling star

As I drown in seas of sorrow

While she holds me down

 

Just another speck in time

A blade of brown in a billion green

She tattoos fool across my brow
without a second thought

 

She looks me in the eye

When lightning crawls across the valley floor

I reach out to find her heart not yet awake

Although she sings to me in tones of blue

I shed a blood red tear of torn

 

Like a nest blown from a Cyprus tree

With broken shell

Abandoned me

Or am I a pair of shoes without a right

To feel

 

 I waited …..

 

And I waited …….

 

 

For her to bloom

But in her heart there was no room

Wow! This is rich, my friend. The freedom with which you express yourself in this piece is much like that of a falling star... like "lightning crawling across the valley floor"... that is just amazing. This is beyond rich... this is just outstanding. These lines run like a river of "blood red tears". Brilliant.... the imagery... absolutely brilliant.... wow..
