Alchemy Gothic



A Poem…. Alchemy Gothic


I am looking for reflections and I look into your face.  I remember wantonness…
It is in your eyes.


I never believed them , I never assumed…
But I will find you somewhere behind the moon.

There is something that I want to reveal
That I know, one knows, someone that knows just how I feel… what will I say…..when I take my heart to the grave.  

It is a dangerous game that we play:
I am killing you …. With words.
You are killing me  with  the words that you say.

The poison of Love is so deceiving,
Even now I can’t believe…. I am believing
The distance between us keeps spreading,
The pounding of my heart is unrelenting,
Your voice, so very far away, screaming:

It must be over;
I can even let it be over;
I’ll never let it be over.
We must become lovers
We must become the latest lovers.

Every day we walk this side of the grave
Every day there is money to be saved.
Every day I share my love with you
Every day is a day before we part
Ere come the total eclipse of the heart.

The past is a world that has passed away,
You throw the dice thrice… and then you throw it all away… there is no word that you can say  or do to save the way …. It used to be…..History.   It can’t save me.  Angels pray for me, I cry for mercy, sweet blood of mercy, feed me.   I must fight the monster phantom that  might slay me.  They say the truth will set you free, wash me in the river of Honah Lee, Time will be what it will be.  You can  not live life rushing.  Time is Destiny…
