Poem: "The Bridge of Deceit"

"The Bridge of Deceit"

As I walk along silently
the morning sun
shines brightly
warming my back

Thoughts of you
fill my mind
as I try in vain
to forget the pain

Of losing you

Your face
tasting your kiss
your perfect mouth
the shimmer
in your beautiful eyes

You're gone now
fleeting like the warmth
of the sun
moments before
sunset

Its final rays fading

If I close my eyes
for just a second
I see you again
in all your grace

Lead me out of this wilderness
away from this aching loneliness
and cruel heartbreak
dare to burn

The bridge of deceit
that divides us
and threatens our very
breath

Close your eyes, dear
and come with me
once more

Even if it's just
for the fondness
of old times' sake.

Poem: "Floating"

"Floating"

The door is closed
wind outside is cold
as it rises, howling
the breath in me
shallow and unsure

The past is locked away now
floating under the bridge
crumbling and dead
everything blurs

Blood on your hands now
as a smile invades your face
I never knew you could
didn't think it would come to this

As the rain falls
you watch silently
as the broken remains
of my heart drift along
barely floating above
the water's surface.
