Beloved Decay

The faded breath of twilight
Finds a mourning in me
A quiet, translucent sigh escapes
My heart

Once again I am left
With a silent plea unto my soul
As the sky bleeds
And dies into darkness

Beloved is this moment
This beautiful
Decaying moment
A blessed release

All are searing for
Destined for

Not enough
I still to search the withered horizon

There is a knowing in me
[that] Whispers things
Of ash and earth
Haunted, arcane words

I cannot grasp

Somehow I had forgotten
This witness of mercy
This awaited instant
Of imminent fate

Countless abstracted days have passed
With my heart wandering
And eyes obscure

Full of shame
I ache for lost moments
And yield my regrets to purpose
My heart resides in the evening glow

Away from it i shall stray no more.

VERY cool stuff...reminds me of one of my favorite bands lyrics (opeth)...great word usage and flow, it sort of matches your picture...Thanks for sharing this! :)Snake PS, An "8" is the highest I have ever graded a poem here...I mean a '10" is supposed to be perfection after all. :)

Thank you..seriously. Opeth has been a favorite band of mine for years.

Well written, lyrical thoughts. Would love to hear the song... if indeed that's what it is? Welcome to DP

I suppose I should include a link to the band website in my profile. A lot of the music has been written and recorded, though vocals have yet to be added. Thank you for your kind words.
