Into the darkened corners of desire

Long left standing upon

The un-swept floors of secret yearning

Have I strived to press your memory away



Which over time of endless days

And with a heart now callused

By the emptiness of self deceit

Have I sought that you should

Vanish from my mind

And torment me no longer…

For I long to love again



But all effort is vain

For in the weakness of quiet moments

My strength and will are but nothing

As the softness of your beauty rises

Upon wings of fire, illuminating

Every inner passion…and I burn



And you become as if real before me

And in the cloak of moonlit night

I tremble at the vision of your eyes before me

I gasp in shallow breath as the dream

Of your lips touch softly upon my skin

And I am helpless…and I am yours



Knowing, that when I wake I shall rise alone

And in pointless effort, walk into the sunrise

Of yet another day wherein

I shall strive to forget
