There was something in him
That made her longingly sigh,
Reminded her of pale twilight
Or bittersweet.. Fading wildflowers
In autumns last blush of colour..
She Loved Him.
His being covered a much deeper
History than he knew himself..
His eyes took hold of her in a flash
Seeing through her dreamy haunted vision..
Distant songs from her heart danced
deep within her tortured soul.
Heard only through opening and closing doors
It all came to her from a faraway time
And she felt as though the past
Had placed on her head the misty veil of death,
Her pain had come alive
Dangerously close to breaking her
In the present moment of their destiny..
The stars heard their yearning hearts
And would open the doorway to eternity
But deep within her very existence
Her fears crushed heaven into hell
And withheld eternity from her
