don’t ever walk away
from a broken heart
when the clock strikes midnight
solaris silently seeps
into shadows
the fear forever lurks
underneath the stars
of a haunted light
i’ve seen the devil weep
in the gallows
all of our words exist
in a dusty cloud
awaiting strange attractors
for the chance to be heard
in the here and now
to justify our actions
but you
you are the blessed one
the view
impales the polaris sun
we watched the moon
give way to the ocean
amid a lost december
i can remember the taste
of your sorrowed tears
i held you in my arms
like a godless world succumbs
to celestial signals sublime
the fire that never dies
is burning deep within me
absconding into the night
the ire of wasted lives
it scolds like soldiers scorned
who were born for the right to die
but you
you are the goddess defined
will you
show me your heavenly signs
when truth
shines off the light of your eyes
then you
are blessed amongst the skies
