Hi guys, there are such a lot of entries here. I am so in a daze which one to comment first. Be back later in the day (our time here). Just dashing an entry, before I go off to work.
===============================================

Time waits for my stone cold flesh
to soften like the winter snow
at spring's first thaw.

As night closes in, starved
by the glare of neon lights,
I am its vulnerable victim
dangling like a puppet
manipulated by an unseen hand.

Salving my wounds,
I retire to a corner
surveying the sight
of myself, walls crashing
down, as my love
vanishes into the dark.

Walk softly through my heart.
