Forgotten

Where are we now
was yesterday a feather brush?
a blizzard in a snow-globe
shrinking dot in the rear view mirror
did i reminisce in memories we never had
you seem so happy, there never was we,
so was the longing a lie, the glint in your eye
would i be wrong if i call you friend
the moments we had, was all pretend
they lasted in brevity, yet seemed infinity
who changed the seasons, who changed the cast
who rained the heavens, who switched the mast
why i must be downcast, why must i grieve
for i never believed and no i never will
you will never let me drink from your holey grail
you shroud yourself in white and morning dew
you peak like an angel yet deal with the devil
Behold your wine is spilled,dogs gather at your feet,
How many a lover, how many a man, devoured
you could not cry, not even try
you couldn't see what haunted me.
what stole my slumber,what made brows sweat
It was fear, it was eventuality
a rose you gave me, a kiss on my cheek
Yet to my stoop you must return,
to pleasure , to pressure, to promise returns
then show me a vision, brilliance, incandescent
you light my eyes, you inspire me to defy,
what i know to be true, tested and tried
Yet i must rise,and i will rise
Futile it is , curse you and die
you fill my vessel with voluminous smoke
how can I end what begins again, how can i let it die
faithful to you i will remain, even if you pass me by.
