Absent Song (Walk On A Winter Beach)

That Black weight
That you brought down
Was determined to
Meet with the ground
With us inbetween
I can't describe
The pain I felt
Without diatribe
Knuckles sinking down
Into solid ground
Trying to keep these
knees off the ground
Holding far too long
For an absent song
Collapsing anyway
To find it all gone
The straw that
Broke the mind and back
Was not the weight, but
Your additional attacks
And so you win
You broke the only one
Who cared enough to try
Under this eclipsed sun
What's done is done
And moving on
I find that
You're never really gone
All that spent emotion
That great catastrophy
Managed to grow greater
Than both you and me
It's been years, and still
I'm half underneath
Watching my heart
Spit out broken teeth
My tongue tasting like
Wet ashes in my mouth
Remebering how
Everything went South
My words sent out to
The world as a smoke
Clouding my meanings
And making me choke
I have been trying now
For far too long
To purge myself
Of your absent song
The more I try, it seems
The more it stays on
I write and write and write
But it is never truly gone
Until now, I feel
Finally, its grip slipping
MY feet coming into cadence
Despite my heart-heavy tripping
Coming out onto this
Long winter beach
Where I am suddenly
Beyond all reach
And it feels great
Seeing gray sand
Bleed into gray skies
Painting an unpromised land
Doubled for the living
I doubt you'd recognize
What you would see
Behind these aged eyes.

Very entrancing, up lifting.
Sounds like a peice of heaven but then another tine of year it could be hell.
Doubled for the living
I doubt you'd recognize
What you would see
Behind these aged eyes.
I bet it's all good 'cause luv is what matters!
We all get pot bellies sooner or later.
I bet there's endless luv in those eyes.
huggs,
emy |
