Life's Charade

The wind awakens

My saddened heart 

As the moonlight creeps

Away from my sight 

 

I sit alone

Floating in my mind 

Defying thoughts

Of a never coming delight 

As my soul drowns

In a fog of fright 

 

An orphan tear

That hugs the shores of night 

To mourn the death

Of a straying life... 

 

An orphan cloud

That hugs the sky 

That cries the death

Of a dream... of a life 

 

A withering flower

That fights the drought 

That bleeds ...that shouts

A million words 

That soon get lost

In the laments of exhaust 

 

And I see

From a distance a shade

That through the trees

Solwly wades 

Jaded and frayed

From life's charade 

I watch it as it gradually fades

To ashes of hate

 

I close my eyes

And let the wind take me

through a eternity of sighs  

 

Mazed I am in the scenes

Of a forbbiden dream

Falling I am in my memory

Dormant and unseen

My heart weeps and I plead 

The gods of love to heal

A wound that never ceased to bleed
