Long Dead Chivalry

I take my steps
slowly
cautiously

in fear that they will burn
every bridge you cross
behind your back
men who
later
in my stead
will march
in my boots
besides you.

Kingdom Gone

The barren desert of desolation is here.

Here

Where I stand,

Where you are standing.

Where lays the answer to the question:

“To be or not to be”.

Desolation,

can be found in the cold side of the bed,

or the broken wing of a lonesome dove.

We need to stop

Waiting.

We need to stop wondering about the road not taken.

Shut your eyes

Give them a rest

your longing gaze won’t reach Nirvana.

We need to stop thinking of dreams wasted.

We need to stop dreaming;

For in this land where the sun sets from either side,

Tomorrow,

No Kingdom shall Come.

Hell, Heaven and Salvation

Maybe heaven is nothing
but a smile,
and
the lips that whisper my name;

And salvation,
that momentous moment
when, so intoxicated by her scent
I forget myself

this hell.

Auditory Courage

It wouldn’t take much
for me
to hear your voice.
I
just need to give my ears
some courage…

Go on! Say something
Tonight
the wind will play me
the melody of your voice.

Que Sera, Sera

I’ll light up my last match
against the wind,
whatever will be, will be.
If ignited, my soul be set free.
If not, 

whatever will be, will be.

I Envy My Shoes

I envy my shoes;
I envy them
because
they don’t realize that
once
upon a time
I had walked this path
not alone
but
with you.
