Closing the chapter


Closing the chapter
Not as easy as imagined
Epilogues emerge
Long after expected

Hide and seek
Memories rendering
Food for thought
Bitter tasting

Listening through time
Eyes open wider
Heartfelt tears
Hit me harder

Time stands still
Hourglass shattered
Midnight wakefulness
Howls sound louder

Xanadu dreams
Burning brightly
Get too close
Ashes smite me

Butterfly kisses
Cause pains to waken
Silver threads
Pulled then broken

Honeydew sweetness
Elixir was promised
Love's summer glow
Now proven dishonest

Gilded cages
Slowly stripped away
Pastel truth
Their smudges stay
