Denouement - 1920

Denounement - 1920

 

Hand in hand on the dimming horizon;

Consumed by the thought of tomorrow … tomorrow?

Two shells treading in the thickening sand -

Stressing about all the time we borrow

 

skies blacken

trees wilt

waters dry

 

The clock ticks impatiently in shorter intervals;

The harbinger of death beckons louder … louder?

Two shells succumbing to their endless voids -

Yearning for each other to fill what was lost

 

Sounds deafen

Colors mute

Love lost

 

The earth shifts and the flames burn;

The blood runs cold on the cross … cross?

Two shells wanting love as man and man -

Begging to be spared from ‘Gods’ will

 

memories fade

feelings disappear

worlds end.
