        The unforgiving dawn

Though I’ve walked a thousand paths
   in dreams
on many moon-bright, star-swept nights
seeking some way into your heart,
I have found only inscrutable darkness
amid the karma-ruins of your past
until suddenly, all hope of new love
simply scatters once more
with each unforgiving dawn.

"karma-ruins of your past"

Ah, yes indeed, that can spoil even the most perfect of dreams.

I admire how you paint vivid pictures with just a few short lines. Enjoyed.
