Lovers of Loneliness

Finding beauty in denial,

The cold erupts from a bitter stare

As dust-ridden steps away lead to the

Corpse’s heaven of two hearts.

A wrath-filled corridor is

Filled with the heavy silence of once beating hearts

As the Seraphim’s choir is cast into remnants

Of shadow.

Tender loneliness kisses the still scene,

And it fills the eyes of a paradise beheld

With sorrow—

A mourning of catastrophic intent and ingratitude.

Frozen lilies line the shore of destiny

With the air of remorse

As they bleed in the setting sun’s scorn,

And are held captive to perceive this daily death—

An overwhelming reflection of my heart’s own situation.

Singing to the violent waves that ride the storm

Does the soul some good

As the eyes are lost in the sea of words that hold

Such essence,

Yet are buried by the desert sands that shift on the wind--

On indecision.

The vibrant echoing resonance of loneliness is hidden from you--

From all—

Until I choose to fade from this world.

Amen.
