Twilight

(part 1)
dead is the flesh
where trembles once resided
numbness has replaced the nerves
the two have been divided
longing for infallible lust
with steel doors shut and locked
he knows he loved her once before
yet those memories are blocked
a striking archetype of romance
uninhibited attraction
bearing a resemblance
to unattainable satisfaction
he'd seen her face, felt her touch
wiped away her tears
to never know this love again
was the worst of all his fears
empty rooms and empty hearts
naked empty walls
and in that naked empty house
he heard echos of his calls
he cried in fear, he cried in pain
he cried in fits of rage
and yet the story must go on
it's time to turn the page...© 2007 ALI

(part 2; the continuance)
a life of isolation
in this deep and lonely cell
horrendous wounds upon his heart
he'd kept them hidden well
tattered, torn and gashed and bruised
she'd ripped him all to pieces
and even after all the pain
his love for her increases
hopes and dreams and shooting stars
could this be the love he'd lost
he would claw his way back to the top
he'd fight at any cost
to hold her hand, feel her pulse
kiss her sweet soft lips
and as he awoke he realized
he had to come to grips
his dream was gone for it had faded
with the morning's rising sun
he opened his eyes and found himself
right where he had begun...© 2007 ALI
