Grey Before the Dawn

Slate grey winds
and remembering rains
fall from heaven above

Distant feelings
nostalgic memories
loneliness for want of love

Looking without seeing
into gray before the
dawn

Instants stretch timeless
infinity the night, it
rambles on

Reaching back I'm
groping, every instant I
recall

Our touches and
Each caress, our
kiss, I miss them
all

Bitter smiles and
empty hands
with no one left to
Blame

Emptiness and Loneliness
each a piece of the
Same

Angels stand behind
my back stern guardians
of my soul

Stumbling, tripping
falling ever
further from my
Goal

Women, the sex
distilled of mist
always seen but rarely
touched

Smiling wryly i think
aloud I often
give of myself to much

Chilly wind and
icy rain are falling
from the sky

Loneliness envelopes
me and I cease to
try
