The Black Ribbon

Black and white time outsmarted

the remorse. The thought

I wanted to dedicate to you

broke within me.

I am asking for a sip of poisonous rain,

I am asking for a tear

that will quench my longing

for loneliness.

I'm wrapped in a black ribbon

of love that no one deserves.

Hope is for those who choose

prophetic memories.

I overcome the crowd of stray words,

I rush with the wind through

the hills and valleys

on your stripped body.

I don't want you to think I don't like

your smile. I believe someone will shout

an order we all believe in.

I pray that time befriends eternity

and that life forgives all sins of death.

Weary memories fell asleep

right next to dream longings.

The purple flower of adulthood

blooms greedily in the ruins

of a sandcastle.

I don't want to die despite my youth.

I will not rest before the good

takes hold in the rented heart.

Wonderfully expressed and very in depth in words that flow nicely ;-]
