shadows cast their hold on me
darkness enwrapped me in a cosmic grip
now the stars have faded away
as the black hole in my mind;
its grip has come to stay

The light is absorbed away
photon after photon
struggling in the grips
but gravity does not slip

windows open inward
and inward i look
where light is trapped
casting an aurora

an aurora on my dreams
painting them something;
romantic,
my hope becomes frantic

Love at slumbers door

Waiting for the last queen to fall,
Waiting for that siren call;
That tells the end of battle

Waiting for the rush to ebb away,
Waiting for the calmness to take away,
The seething musth inside;
Denying me paradise

Oh fair temptress please deny me,
Please turn away my silent plea,
For heartbreak is a trifle;
To the pain of possessing thee

We are but figures in a big paradigm,
We are but diggers in a grave of time,
We are certainly not complete;
But we loath to become free

We are paupers, ourselves, on mountains of gold,
We are but beggars but we have no bowl,
We expect the impossible;
And delude ourselves..

Now as my mind takes yet another leap,
And silence calls me to the solitude of sleep,
My escape route is here;
Slumber makes things clear

But before i go let me silently weep,
For a great love lost; a beauty i won't get to keep,
But some things are bigger;
And beauty sometimes is a perilous trigger
