Ode to an Unfulfilled Death

And every so often in this aging circle of land
Falling teardrops shed upon a nightstand
To the sound of the drowning of loneliness,
And like the broken towers of light
That once ignited the night in flames
They lie all soulful and scattered amid
Outdated pulses and feelings stirred to fit the present,
Craving for a time that will never reign; nor did,
And I, this voices shadowy twin, like one of them
Always dwell on threadbare silhouettes of back then,
Like a lover of life unmatched and jettisoned
I lie conformed to mortality, the most cruel reality
Of yearnings to keep the heart from gladness
Piling the soul with recurring instances of sadness.
And from the engulfing silence a horrible truth emerges
Attacking me again and again, mercilessly to the end
And all I will have left by then is peaceful dreaming
and flashbacks of her in front of that vivid sky
And the fading tune of Lover, You Shouldve Come Over
Whose words will scatter inside me- and then it goes
Ill wait for youand Ill burnwill I ever see your sweet return?
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no-one
And as the powerfull prose fill me in, her angelic face appear within
like a cascade of apathy, an epic picture soon to be escorted with
To the sullen site of mans crossing,
Pale and dying and soon forgotten
I lie swathed and furled within vacant space
Slowly abating to nothingness.
Ah, touching my skinpure and thin. Looking withinbare and
Vastly untouched. Now warmth pulling me upeyes dreamily down,
Oh, the revelatory sight of a fading meteor cutting through the night
Painting dull minds with broad beauteous strokes of insight; with urge,
Oh, the persistence of mens search for eternal bliss:
A holy grail exhumed from a bottomless pit
A cube of latitude sculptured from a tender kiss
The ultimate soothing hiss.
Mouth opening upshivery breeze from above. Lips drop
To the enclosing of airpropelling a last brief yawp
To the frontier of the atmosphere,
And out there stillness abides the clicking of time
Cantering down the last narrowing lanes
The inevitably approach of rapid decline
Rush, Agony, Silence
Couldnt stayThose who got away unfulfilled.
