At Last, Rest


I could feel the first rays burst
like sins feeding on pure souls
of hearts intangled of my breath
that I could wake and turn away
I broker nothing for my own politics
that rage has kept its own way.
I glanced quietly outside
and watched my doom come to me
radiate from windows might
and dreamed of dreams I wished hopefully
but could not contain in time
nor follow outside my bounds.
As the first touched my hand
no pain was felt, only the burn
and release of my bonds to earth
thus began my journey to be free
for my endless night was now gone
and hope for my soul my song.
She kissed me with passion bliss
while my body burned into decay
and let loose my souls ties to it
I captured love at my last breath
that I took to heaven with a smile
allowing my tears to fill the clouds.

Hello Michael,
I'm glad I stopped in today and found your poem. It's quite beautiful...breathtaking actually

Music, tonal clear & pure,
Caresses the harshest of curves.
