Beneath Silence

Come cradle my head,
it is shattered, it is bleeding
an outpouring of dreams

the taste of ruin is in my mouth
dying in these shallow waters
crying ashen tears, staining my face

come cradle me, I’m passing now
in misery I wallow, I breathe it in
empty the ashes from within
I will bleed them too...

Dream no more,
cry no more,
feel no more...

And yet I am weeping-
I am drinking the wine of sorrow
hope has sung with the swans
and a final melancholy note rings,
throughout the trees I hear the dirge

and it haunts...

breathe once more
dream into shadow
she has forgotten your face
a painful memory drifts-
haunted...
