Breathe miles, indifferent, thrown my strings apart,
Were time relent, this pride's predictive stream
Of denial kite, flows, vent away to heart
trailing rib rust � dust of dreams.

My only if - can starve your dripping psalm,
bent palm across mandate green - yellow clays.
On steeds alight, new candles comb me balm,
Swept solid heirs, blown stark, start yesterday.

Unsaid's so hour, burnt second�s loudest smoke,
seeking hope more vain than aids - contorts old
into vast, not distance, thorns arose poor choke.
What flightless leaves for blooms speak - untold.

Dark moments flicker, Fade me, dissipate
to sleep alone bare, aweight fashion�s fate.
Though we breathe indifferent miles apart,
time may relent, unbinding sorrow�s scheme.
Yet daily you deny love�s wayward heart,
replace it gently in rib-dust to dream.

If only it could stay with you, drip psalms
upon your palm and bleed old pain away.
Instead I light new candles for what comes,
close curtains on the shadow of today.

Unspoken hours burn low in scented smoke.
I search vain hope within, touch comfort cold
and still vast distance rises up to choke
poor flightless wings before they might unfold.

Dark moments flicker, fade me, dissipate.
I sleep alone, awaiting ashen fate.

I went insane before we got them fully melded ... lol
