Pedal Steel and Ribbons

A Boy With Roses

A breathless sea of emotions flutter and leave me awake                                      

And I cannot coax them to leave me where I lay dead and numb                                

The wilting joy absconds and the bitter taste of nostalgia lingers                                

Like a spider's web between my fingers                                                                                  

I fade into the tapestry of loveless nights, forsaken                                                                                          

In lonely moments of fleeting darkness and fleeting light.

    Very cinematic and quite connected to the senses. Spiderwebs are quite a thing to contend with and so are sticky emotions. TFS
