On occasion the sorrows arise
And tears well up to glaze dark eyes
Streaks that stain my weathered face
Bitter memories I can�t erase
Questions without sweet soothing replies
Asked betwixt pained, muffled cries
In scintillating, icy grace
Lethargic dreams of love�s embrace
Euphoria bartered with all of this
Never to realize my loneliness
The emotions I had in my yesterday
Were vivid colors, now faded gray
Yet still I lust to touch lingering bliss
Wishing for a forbidden kiss
No concentration my thoughts astray
And my heart won�t stay locked away
