the end



let the dark faces fall down as i have   
under the traffics merciless feet   
to taste the dirt of life ...
light a candle for the blind like me   
in a squatters basement where I stay...   
guarding captivated spirits in  
the solitude of my mind.
================
summer stenches from the streets above   
evaporates into memories talking to me   
where i reminisce,
about the passage leading down here...
blocked by staled love letters, broken songs   
cold heart-ed bodies rejected me over the years   
for a chat that I can’t escape,   
until I release my last breath   
telling you what love can do.   
====================
it's a constant fight to release a plan
words and lies draft away
portraits brought me closure  
in a daily dying place,
reminding me that I will too.   
================
cracking earth beneath,   
carving a grave for me,   
anticipating my maker,    
& you with me my favorite mistake,   
if I’m to be burned for eternity
as I am in this earthly fault...  
at the dark end,   
wheel of life is unwinding down...
so hold the light to my face as I hit the dirt,  
taking you in for one last embrace    
and everything will be all right.
