Senses
(2003)

I hear your soothing voice
Contemplating love gained & lost
Losing life through sheer blindness
Forever searching far and wide
Behind hidden walls it hides

I sense your enchanting fragrance
Sunlight gleaming off the dew-tipped blades
You stole my heart & seduced my mind
Ever rolling ominous clouds we try to evade
A crumpled and beaten shell left behind

I see the curves of your form
Souls crying in the rain
Looking up high for advice
We laughed and ran through time
Carefree days flashing into memory
A future we desperately try to retain
Whispers of promises blowing in the wind
Snowflakes drifting forever downward
Only swirling pains of reality remain

I feel the touch of your embrace
Hands reach out to grasp only insubstantial mists
Games played upon each other, A forfeit chess match
The words that leave through lips seem to dissipate
Kings & Queens locked in a never-ending stalemate

I taste only the bitter regret inside
