a journey forgotten

i am the child who is pulled by the chariots mass
my feet dipping into the sand... ive been taken along this way for so long
so many lovers have greeted at the stops of night and day...
i peered through the shades and watched their bodies fit... for a second,
than away... my sight falls apon the soft water falling helplessly upon the sand
dragging away as much as it can
sometimes a thought comes to mind
that my mother may be searching far behind
for the child she had brought into the whirl
and had lost, in a hopeless glance
as i was led by this chariot night and day
searching, waiting, for only a dance
many woman have crossed through these days,
but i have seen how the days have crossed them
and so i search for the young girl
who will find me somehow
along the shores she has watched me, all through my journey
her eyes blinking with the stars all through my time
my ache for her filling my heart,
my mind just unwinds
as i wait for her body to whisper down
and grant me an unspoken vow
" be mine"
i am... forever yours
upon the concrete of the city my feet are cut and my eyes
are burned by the hard neon lights
the sky is clogged and the stars are unfit
for such sweltering fires
a deep sweat shakes my body through the night
i see woman done, helplessly worn by the neon lights
and death shakes me into defeat
have i found loss
is this vision complete
snow falls like ash from the sky
and i accept the terms
my heart had been
passed over
defied
under the hollow skies i sing my mothers ballad
and pray through this nights aching drag
nectar dripping
if my soul a flower
and if any beauty was found in my eyes"
what a storm set in that very night
he was so young...
morning comes in...
he opens his eyes...
she lyes beside him
caressing
his dried eyes
with her soft hands
dripping arms
his carriage had left his body at shoreside
and she had taken the hand of his soul
he had left his body
and had been taken
into a sea of night
into her starry eyes
it seemed that darkness
had forever been
his only light
