Ariadne's Thread

Eternity

The troubled arms never find a way back to the heart

In the fiery beginning, there was only one

I wish I could go back

I try

I can't find my way back

So, I spend the rest of my life trying

There is only an eclipse when I close my eyes

hollow moons and burning skies

I shepherd the rain, but never get wet

and then I am lost in my own words

I wander from place to place

seeking my bliss

fondling nature

crushing the leaves

breathing the wind

Nothing

I can't find my way back

Holding on

trying to believe in wind torn dreams

hoping there is something left......At the end of the tunnel, I see a light

It's growing dim, the closer I get

I want to reach out

but the fire is too hot

brimstone

charcoaled skin

naked blisters impale my mind

I close my eyes to shield the flames

the fire that rages in my heart

I close my eyes

VOID

my arms wander

fumble from object to object

believing nothing

saying everything

I am blind

the light is growing dim

it's getting cold

bitter

frigid

ice coats my lucid skin

I lay my head down and start to cry

no tears come

no salient visions dance in my head

darkness ensues

I begin to dream of tomorrow,
