a deeper shade of
colourless smoke
i
moving ghostlike
shadowing desires
the skin of sacrifice
is shed and hollowed out
leaving moments left
and leaving, left behind
abandon everything
this breathless night
into the iron corridor
stripped like shadows
dancing to the sound
of naked rain
beating down upon the rust
of heaven's disrepair
embracing, we exist
on the edge of illusion
crashing through the gates
of transience
and burning
all your perfumed melodies
as moments leave you cold
I will keep you warm
on the threshold of a kiss
and slipping through your fingers
emerging from oblivion
the promise of life
becoming all
we will never be
it's all or nothing
invisible hands guide us
through the poison fog they weave
until the war
is over
realized and lost
our tongues are tied
and tired
tacit and drained
actuality awaits
beyond the blue horizon
we will a**emble
and enjoin
after
the
revolution
