"In sigh and sob and ever gone."

Wishes walked
upon wonder's lands,
where wings drew weightless breath
and warning signs
flew dimly by,
as love
took stand...held pride

and how those soft songs
danced and dwelt
in ears
and hearts
and souls

to play two tunes
with petal's sighs;
give life to sun's demands.

Each garden gathered
honesty's buds
in beds of future bright
and light was shone
on diamond beats...

as bonds were formed with gold.

Promise sparkled
in every dream
as seams were stitched and darned,
old hidden hopes were given worth
and bells
began to chime.

Yet paths whinged weary
upon bend and bump
and palms crossed woe inside
until touched flesh
drew blood and loss
and beliefs began to cry.

This lie we lived
with falsity's might
gave its sight with blinded eyes
as naivety held a coward's curse
and left logic

far behind.

Forever soon dressed
in never's shawl
and promises wept to wilt
and soul sunk deep
within pain's depths
as despair clasped all inhales-

for there amidst those pretty stems
in the garden of nevermore,
thorns lie silent
in sorrow's soils
and winds blow without a care

and staring eyes all stop to see
the ruins
of this flower's demise...

as heavy soles
stamp hateful hues
upon shattered wishes
and broken smiles.
