Light In The Dark Of Night"






In time before midnight I quitely slip into our bedroom hoping not to awaken you from your early sleep. The room softly lit by the moonlight that's slipped past the drawn shades. Gently pulling back the covers I slip into our warm bed almost as a feather. In the soft light I notice the frame of your face at times I need to as you at times put it just stare. As one would in disbelief. Disbelief that you are really there. In the dim light I notice your hands gentle and warm hands that I so enjoy holding, kissing. I feel your warm body next to mine. Wrapping my arms around you as you breathe in and out in rhythm to mine.Moments as these while you sleep allows our current to mingle our energy to flow from one to the other

TIL THE BLOOD RUNS DRY

TIL THE BLOOD RUNS DRY

EARTH WET IN SHADES OF RED
SHADES OF BLACK
VOICES
NOW HEARD
ONLY IN FAINT WHISPER
MUFFLED BY PAIN
BY SUFFERING
ONES EYES
AND EARS
FAR
TOO ACCUSTOMED
TO SUCH
WE TURN
LOOKING FAR BEYOND
TIL THE BLOOD RUNS DRY
EARTH BLACKENED BY DEATH
DEALT BY
MANKIND
MEN,WOMEN AND CHILDREN
TOSSED
ASIDE
PILED HIGH
AS ONE MIGHT
STACK WOOD
THEIR VOICES
NOW SILENT
TIL THE BLOOD RUNS DRY
