Dulcet whispers slip through their fingertips

fleeting beauty never to last

this felicity is decieving their hearts

still they search for destiny in the past

realizing too late what life has become

a deadly charade that claims even the dawn


Whilst stuck in the limbo between here and gone

an epihany of silent understanding comes

betwixt the fearful screams and those yearning for love

a heart reaches out with hope like a dove

descending from darkness and winged with relief

even those trapped in the briars feel a light bestow belief

and the stains of yesterdays are cleared from the slate

starting anew, pure and no longer misconstrued

like a dove, take to the sky



sweetened phrases ehco in their minds

touch and go but for a day

this delicacy is binding their chains

still they love what has not changed

deciding too soon to be ordinary

a fate worse than anything imagined


Whilst stuck in the limbo between here and gone

an epihany of silent understanding comes

betwixt the fearful screams and those yearning for love

a heart reaches out with hope like a dove

descending from darkness and winged with relief

even those trapped in the briars feel a light bestow belief

and the stains of yesterdays are cleared from the slate

starting anew, pure and no longer misconstrued

like a dove, take to the sky
