Ariadne's Thread

 





Camera





paintings, wash away the day

make me forget

regret

I see your image

when I drift off to sleep

I know its cliched

I know its trite

but its the only truth

the only sanctity

the only religion

the only way I know how

to say goodbye

paintings on the wall

wash away

the day

protect

me

neglect

me

forget

me

regret

regret

never talking to you

finding out who you were

or are

or could be

for me

all I need is an image

of you

to be shattered when we meet

compete for the same God

same space

human race

I am such a disgrace

paintings on the wall

take my fall

hold on

so long

goodbye

weeping willows

drift off

sing your sorrow

of a better tomorrow

sing of sweet melodies

sweet entities

sweet images
