Etched in the illusion of time

Words

Whispers of a past gone by
Struggled with for centuries
My own lies


Breathe

I see nothing in the twilight
Except the soul of morning
How could this be, dreamer of mine?


You can see it fashioned,
Golden fingertips alive in summer's sunsets
Free-versed longing is tauten from shadows and storms

Ah, the time for penance lengthens!

Incessantly finite is our song

(wait.)

Hush, and hear what sultry strains are beckoned
Poignantly painted, afresh by the dew
Crystal water
Found
Darkened like the tears of midnight

(see.)

Lost butterflies quiver restlessly
Hoping soundlessly
Ever thoughtlessly
For home

Instead, my hand will pick them up, wings bruised
Spirits shattered
Through time

Time, time is our eternal enemy
Captor of the muse
Saved at my fingertips, graced by crimson blood

And hundreds of thousands and thousands of millions
Of dreams
They are lost

So you, fair child of dawn, cast glances 'pon me
Maiden of your ageless foe
Twilight
Because I hum the siren's lore of old

(Wait and see.)

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"
