Nothing Lasts Forever

Nestled high

upon a labyrinth of time

in corridors stark and deep

within a starry sleep

abounding in midnight blues


Unceasingly caressing

that departed kiss

on the back of a memory

when life was simple

and the dream was alive


Unveiling a desirable notion

beguiled at the thorn

at the onset of no return

in seasons

divided by the passage of time

and a foretaste of what’s to come


Still nursing

that ill-wanting feeling

that got away

rehearsed in a dream

within a vague theme

seduced by the desires of youth

in the infinity of space


Feeling alone

and left for want

hasting with bitterness

and discord

combing possibilities

from the other side of the world

at the forefront of fruition


'til your being

sojourned from a fantasy

in a surreal enchantment

of euphoria

guiding my soul

within a black embrace

to fill that

vacated promise of long ago


Wanton

with disillusion

and fearful

at the impasse

abiding in doubt,

never thought

you'd stand

with me again

as your words

tendered the escapade

of my life


Seems like only

yesterday

when you called

out to me

and the world

would cease

in the stillness

of your hold


Like far

and in between

that I’d begin to wonder

why your distance parts

when you're near me


And where it was

when you first kissed me

and held me in your arms

and told me

that you loved me


Excruciatingly waking at the fold

without your hold

as birds calm that bewildered sensation

of loss and found


Nothing lasts forever

you and I are bound together

in a timeless span

within a song and dance

that'll never be,

O nothing lasts forever

for me...
