I sing to you and I lull myself to sleep As I wait for tomorrow and the chance to follow you To a place that lies beyond my reach From the depths of my soul, I call your name But the silence that enfolds you now Is such an impenetrable shield Darkness has enveloped you While you reside in the land of no return My mind has defied all reason there is But my feeble hands cannot contest destiny’s will So here I stand as I concede and lament And I cry out the words that you will never hear I am broken. I am dying. I love you. We will meet again..
Weave magic and cast spells Intoxicate my senses Leave my dreams fulfilled With just a single glance That’s what your eyes do Send me forth to paradise As I escape from reality I can never get enough of it Even if it’s already drowning me That’s the wonder of your smile But the laughter I hear is deceitful Even if your voice is so melodious What you feel, I cannot decipher What you say, I cannot comprehend All those things, I do detest I don’t fear your rejection I’m afraid I can’t really care But I loathe and adore you at the same time And tread on this path I dare What this is worth, I am unaware Tonight I will raise my glass to you To the image I hold so dear And I will spend an endless night As I contemplate in sweet solitude Beneath the stars in my decrepit abode Here’s to the one I love to hate To the one I so hate to love I daresay I have just welcomed grief When I let this stranger take hold of me I took the hands of ambivalence and embraced misery.

I kiss your eyes and then I close my own And I breathe a sigh as I hold back tears There’s nothing I have but empty words And even now that only the pain is real My heart beats the same yet it doesn’t feel Because the eyes that used to light my world Will never pierce my gaze again
Volume XI Issue No. 3 September-October 2010
I lay my body to rest beside you As I think of those arms that used to hold me I remember how you wrap me in your embrace As I wonder if I would get the chance once more To feel those loving hands I so adored, Warm and tender against my skin.
