as the black expands, encompassing
the car as we pass away
into the shadows where we'll stay.
(I'll always stay)

Surrender for the unspoken promise of tomorrow,
longing for past embraces, settle
for disgruntled mammals with glassy eyes
whose silence translates all his lies.
(They're all lies)

Empty spaces, empty air swept askew,
shattering restraining lids, wallow
back to reverberating tones carrying the load
and death calling at the side of the road.
(Find me on the road)

Water seeps against the fabric,
the stain of memory and sin, seeking
answer's comfort to once again be denied,
the ceiling's silence belies that I tried.
(I always tried)

Slithering blackness approaching,
clouding the mind in dreams of memory, intrusions
like lightning explode to shatter living trust.
Dream became flesh as I returned to dust.

Wow this was good thanks for telling me you
posted it. I loved it all and was instantly drawn
into it by the first line. I enjoyed the last line in
each stanza and how it complimented the
last word in the previous line. This was a
poem that rises to the top of the heap.
