On a shore they never knew.

Angelic breath speaks
With star-crossed wings
And, swims across the river blue
While a storm spills forth
Floating, toward a shore they never knew
Drums beat in the summer’s heat
Rain falls to kiss and caress silken bronzed skin
Flames curl and lick oaken logs once again
Deserted by the sound of company
Stranded, on an isolated mirage
Of what might have been
Bend near a fallen tree
A reminder of days gone by
And how the heart can break and split
In an instant, toward sudden goodbyes
Without a heart, without a word
It’s a moment, that’s somehow understood
Silence grips the air and stirs it around
Spins it a little, just to see what can be found
Darkness embraces midnight
In quickest haste
Stride faster toward the light
A pace to always remember
Love’s, delicate face
