Shadows of Dawn


Pacing back and forth with swollen


knuckles bleeding out like tear


Drops. I once saw the truth


In all things, but this time I am lost.


Lost in space and time without


A thought crossing clearly.




Taking a deep breathe in hopes for


a moment of relief to only get


That of pain inside this crashing


Castle of beauty. Silence


Screams out from the shadows


Of dawn, pleading with all hope for


One last chance to speak out.




But yet speaking out, only brings


That of sour nothings in which break


The seals of sorrowed echos within


These collapsing lego brick walls.


Bowing down and backing out I


Have begun that in which I thought


Never possible, for I am broken.




Broken from all that has come upon


This beating heart. Leaving only scars


Worth a thousand words laid out


Across my heart like a tattoo playing


Out a story of what once was pure


Beauty. Beauty in which lifted


A smile upon the faces of all in site


Only to cover the pain which resides


Inside this polite and gentle soul.
