Nemesis of Heart

Diversion gone bad from time

Bewildered by all this clarity

The aberrations of youth

Making us blind

Gone into a reverie

Visions dripping through my mind

A phantasm with no end

Luring me

Into the silver realm of dreams

Behold the stygian black nightmare

Erotic this yearning

Undulating gaze, whispers breathless

Pry your eyes from under the rose

Lipstick petals crushed

Moonlight pales the resonance of you

Your innocence fades in shadows deep screams

Suffer the lonely days

Final shine for winter eyes

In deep blue dreams of May

Nemesis of heart, friend of mind

A safe calm unmistakable

This anesthetic feel of you and me

Taking shape

Painted kisses coil in waiting

Emptiness bristles beneath my skin

Colder still are the feelings fast fading

Warmed where illusions begin

A taste of me lonely

Swallowed in midnight bliss

The words you whisper

Paints pictures of your kiss

Dark thoughts of old

That does not need saying

Hidden but always lurking

In the deepest of shadows

Silent darkness comes too short

Awake a dreaming child from this blackness

Open eyes, discarding world

Chasing vision you whispered, breathless

Pry your eyes from under the rose

Lipstick petals crushed

Moonlight pales the resonance of you

Your innocence fades in shadows deep screams

Finding my resting place

when the slow dark hours come

Frosty midwinter made moon

Nemesis of heart, friend of mind

A safe calm unmistakable

This anesthetic feel of you and me

Taking shape

Painted kisses coil in waiting

Emptiness bristles beneath my skin

Colder still are the feelings fast fading

Warmed where illusions begin
