Happiness, held so close
Melted...

Wanted:
A man to love forever more...

This weary life in torture keeps
Angst and longing burned so deep...

Eyes consumed by soul's decree
Tender kisses ignite desire...

Misty languid morn
Moist dew kisses hollyhocks...

Why blink, this second's over
End of days is near...

No tears you say
Yet they fall...

Welcome dark dream's embrace
Gentle waves bestow soft lullaby...

Wind blown bent tree sways
Only a northern song plays...

Nobody's child cries alone in the dark
Soured milk mixed in her tears leave a mark...

For you, blue
Trilogy of pain...

Life spilled in cheap ringed folders
Thin lines flow red to black...
