Light laps at my feet,
Shadow lines.
Retrace my steps and
I shall sleep
An eternity back.
Looming cities hanging
Lost lights like
Lanterns floating with no line,
No way home
Only hands now on
Windows.
Sleepless eyes peering out,
Only handprints now on
Mist glass
Perspiring ghosts gone
That refuse to dream
Though I try and eyes flutter
Breathing barely alive.
The sunsets you loved
Sink behind notes
And I smile as much to wipe
My tears. Fall like shattered
Sounds,
Chase melodies around me
If I lived again.
But of course above the waves
It seems your voice
I hear instead.
