Nestled high
upon a labyrinth of time
in corridors stark and deep
within a starry sleep
abounding in midnight blues
Unceasingly caressing
that departed kiss
on the back of a memory
when life was simple
and the dream was alive
Unveiling a desirable notion
beguiled at the thorn
at the onset of no return
in seasons
divided by the passage of time
and a foretaste of what’s to come
Still nursing
that ill-wanting feeling
that got away
rehearsed in a dream
within a vague theme
seduced by the desires of youth
in the infinity of space
Feeling alone
and left for want
hasting with bitterness
and discord
combing possibilities
from the other side of the world
at the forefront of fruition
\'til your being
sojourned from a fantasy
in a surreal enchantment
of euphoria
guiding my soul
within a black embrace
to fill that
vacated promise of long ago
Wanton
with disillusion
and fearful
at the impasse
abiding in doubt,
never thought
you\'d stand
with me again
as your words
tendered the escapade
of my life
Seems like only
yesterday
when you called
out to me
and the world
would cease
in the stillness
of your hold
Like far
and in between
that I’d begin to wonder
why your distance parts
when you\'re near me
And where it was
when you first kissed me
and held me in your arms
and told me
that you loved me
Excruciatingly waking at the fold
without your hold
as birds calm that bewildered sensation
of loss and found
Nothing lasts forever
you and I are bound together
in a timeless span
within a song and dance
that\'ll never be,
O nothing lasts forever
for me...
