Return to shadows

September and 23 December 2010

∞

When she is gone and is no more

Surely it will remain there her smile

Like a nasty little wound in the core

But open hardly more than a while

∞

For as the night softly engulfs her

She creeps back into a dark shadow

That is all she could now remember

Of what was once her shining glow

∞

And you onlooker such sweet mortal

Just like the flames that you still stir

Shall remain for her like a lost portal

Like a sweet entrance but now a blur

∞

And while you might take your shower

And in a broken speedboat take a ride

Like a waning and yet drunken flower

Back into sweet death she shall glide

∞

Some could seek return to innocence

Others on darkness would ride alone

Life shall lose any and all of its sense

For those whose heart became stone
