Bitterness flooded the gorge of my heart
as the sting of a thousand thoughts fell
upon my face, waiting for the weight
of silence to buckle the knelt pillar of
courage.

Could the shimmer of an eye again
light the sky of darkened dreams while
heavy lips slur the slumbering moan
of despair?

For the moon rides the lathered beast
in search of whispering winds as the
rhythmic tick of time hangs heavy in
the shadows and the wool’s itch carries
the dampness of waters that have caressed
the smouldering bridge of silent reflect
as the dog's cry awaits the gleam of eye.
