I am old now and the moon wanes As the winter settles on the weather vanes, This moment at the back end of my days Of the gutter and the passageways, I've seen it all, the crumbling street The dead leaves fall about my feet, The glories of my life unfurled Are but the silent horrors of the world. In the gathering gloom I press my hands And hope that someone understands, The sorrow and the darkening sky Of grief and the muffled cry. The evening creeps and holds itself A hostage of the coming night, Cradles in its arms and starts to sleep. Waking up to dreams it breaths, it's lungs Bear witness to the gift of tongues. I hear a voice, distant voices and the sound of rumbling. "Remember child, that the ways of youth are wild Do not hesitate nor twist your fate On promises that may never pass Nor lose that time that you must win, It will not pass again". She smiles, her wrinkled face Like paper crepes run highways From her eyes, She has no smell as if the memories Had been washed away. I think of the old days Of perfume and cologne. I am alone. I imagine trees of feathered boughs Lined with wings of dead sparrows I see deaths birth and what it farrows. And even now, I think of the coming light To ward against the deadening night, Dream of warmth and of the rose, Of slumber and the long repose. |

Heartbreak is a curse Lock your heart and seal your soul Face this world alone |
