i travelled onward
though dark clouds
follow my stride

cold winds
rustle the leaves
cry into my ears

meeting you
as rain falls
a gentle caress

embracing you
soaked through
dripping down

cracking light
thunderous roar
rumbling echo

every time i come
we’re always
caught in a storm

as i head out
the weather follows
the humidity sets in

the sun peeks
prying beams
misty covers

another day
with occasional showers
and a chance of lust

we stretched our encounters.
gripping our hands together tightly.
our goodbyes where we had to be ripped away,
from each others embrace.
then we went on to lust for our own longing dependencies.
but who are you now?
where have you gone?

no more standing solo,
you’ve cured loneliness.
but you lost something in the process.
casting me out,
replacements on collect.
but is it only from your bounds,
come your great creation?

cigarette kisses on summer days,
misled lust for love.
gone our separate ways,
do you look back,
like me?

do you look back,
and wonder?

the skeleton of your soul
hidden by the fibres of strength
shadowed by layers of flesh

born without instruction
guided by lack of faith
destined to break down

creaking joints
rusted exterior
worn out

be born again
repeat the cycle
control your future

strong disdain for theatrics
hands shaking behind backs
a cold sweat follows
the choice is yours

the bad taste in your mouth
to question motivation
second guess decisions
mistakes make you

fight for ideas
give up now
let the wind die
let the fire burn

move towards the unfamillar

which direction
are you headed?
cause we met up
in the southwest

throw a stone
at the destination.
let the stars
guide my way.

lose the way
back home.
make the journey
to a new.

cut the ties
from yesterday.
let it sink
in for tomorrow.

can you lose
track of time?
if you never
started the clock.
