EMBERS
S.JENSEN (C) 2018
FOG RISES
DREAMS SCREAM
WORDS FADE
THE LOVER'S VOICE
I SEEN NOW LOST
DOWN IN THE
BLINK LIKE
THE CRASHES
EACH TIME
TAKES A PIECE
OF MY HEART
AND SHREDDING IT
I WALKED AWAY
IN THE ONLY THING
I COULD DO
THE SHADOWS OF
DEATH STILL CREEP IN
AND OH TO THOSE
THAT CREATE
IN THE FALSE
WAYS
AND MY TRUE
GRACE
IS KNOWING
ITS NOT THOSE
I CHERISHED
YET ITS DRAINED
NONETHELESS
ONLY SO MUCH
DENIED MY
FORBIDDEN
TREASURES
FROM THE WORDS
I SPOKE
SO FREELY
OF A DESIRE
THAT NEVER HAD
A CHANCE
LET IT GO
AS FREE LOVE
I GAME ANYHOW
THE COST SO
HIGH IN THIS HELD
TONGUE
SWEET PATTERNS
WALK AWAY
TO KNOW YOU
AS I DO AND LEAVES
US IN THE PAPER
WEIGHTING
REALMS OF
TRAVELLED ETHER
CLOSING A DOOR
FOR LACK OF
THOSE THAT CALL
OH FOR NO
REASONING
IN MY RANDOM
IS NOTHING BUT
FRIENDSHIP THERE
SO MISTAKEN
RUMORS FLOWED
WAS A TRUE HEART
WITH A HIGHER LOVE
THAT WANTED TO
CARRY AND BE CARRIED
AND HAS BEEN SO
LEADING MY SOUL
TO JUST BE
HAS TORE ME INTO
AS I LEFT IT THERE
AS I HAD NO CHOICE
NEITHER DONE
AND NEITHER LOVED
NOR WILL WE EVER
IT SEEMS BE AS
LOVERS IN MY HANDS
THE MARKS LEAVE
A THOUGHT OF
YESTERYEAR AND
I KNEW IT THEN
AS I KNOW IT NOW
AND MY LOVERS ARE
ALL LONG GONE
AWAY DOWN IN A
PLACE OF ASHES
AND DUST
AS I SIT HERE
NO MORE CRYING
OVER THE VOICES
BARELY AUDIBLE
LEAVES MY SOUL
SO SADDENED
ESCAPING STRESS
INTO BLISS
TO ERASE THE HURT
AND THAT NEED
TO HATE
JEALOUSY IS LOST
ON THEIR DAMAGES
AS I RACE ON...
AND MY HEART
CARES SO DEEPLY AS
WAVES RUSH OVER
MY FEET AS I WISH
TO FEEL THAT KISS
ON MY CHEEK
JUST ONCE MORE
OH SO LEFT OUT
THE DOOR DEEP
DOWN IN THE TUNES
I CHOOSE
WRAPPING ME LIKE
A COCOON
TO WHAT I WAIT ON
SEEMS SO FAR
AS THE FIRE'S GLOW
WANES LIKE THE
MOONSHINE BEHIND
THE CLOUDS,
WIND, AND RAIN
DRAWING THE
ISA RUNE
I SAY OH...
TO THE NEEDED CYCLES
AWAY CIRCLES
AROUND INTO THE
CRAVING TO TASTE
THAT WHICH NO ONE
WANTS TO GIVE THIS
SOUL ANY MORE
AS AGE SETTLES IN
OH BUT TO THE
BROKEN BLEEDING PARTS
OF MY HEART
STILL CRYING OUT
TO MY HEART'S
DESIRE... WOULD YOU
EVER GRACE A
SWEET TALK TO
JUST BE ...
OH THAT WE CONTINUE
WITH ME WITH YOU
OH THOSE THAT PURSUE
LIKE FEVERED DEMONS
I SO WISH TO LEAVE
ME IN PEACE AND NO MORE
HARM BE DONE
I REST MY HEAD
TO THE PILLOWS
AS THE SOUNDS CARRY
OH TO BE CARRIED
OH SO FAR AWAY
MAY THE EMBERS
OF YOU AND I
NEVER FADE
OH TO A SOLID SPACE
WITH OR WITHOUT
I WILL GO ON
AS WE ALL HAVE
NO OTHER CHOICE BUT
TO DO SO...
I GRACE THE PAGES
WITH MY THOUGHTS
I CAN'T ESCAPE
THEM AS THE DREAMS
OF LOVERS LONG GONE
STILL GRACE MY
MIND YEAH OH THOSE
STAIRS I WALK EACH
DAY SO HAVE A
WORN PATHWAY
ALWAYS ME
ALWAYS FREE
ALWAYS.... MISSING
AS I KEEP THE SEARCH
OPEN FOR A LOVER
TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACES
WHERE THEY GO
AND MY FORBIDDEN
SAPPHISTIC DESIRES
STILL FUEL MY HEAD
MY DEAR...
FADED... SO FADED
LIKE MY JEANS
AND TORN EDGES
FEEL SO RIGHT
AS EVEN CERTAIN
FRIENDS ARE ALSO
LOST IN THE EMBERS...
OH HOW I LOVE
THEE IN MY MIND
AND LEFT IT THERE
AS ALWAYS
TO THE EMPTY CHAIR
THE EMPTY WHEEL
TURNING
TO THE EMPTY
BED
TO THE EMPTINESS
IN MY HEART
LOST IN THE
SWEET CARESSES
OF MY ONLY PLACE
TO BE WITH
OFF TO MY DREAMS
OF THOSE EMBERS
FLOATING TO THE
NIGHT SKY
CRISP COLD SETTLES
WHERE WARMTH
IN THOSE EYES
SO MADE MY DAY
NOW JUST REST
HERE WITH EVERYTHING
ELSE
AS I HAVE NOTHING
ELSE
AND SO LESS TO GIVE
SO LESS TO FEEL
SO LESS TO BE
AND YET I STILL
WISH TO JUST BE
OH SO CARRIED OFF
WITH THE EMBERS IN
THE NIGHT SKY...
