Fade

Thousand little eyes lying on the floor

Never gonna see myself no more

Shattered Dreams…      

Broken Hearts…  

All is done…

             Before it starts…

Everything drains away from me

Taste the salt, smell the sea

Current ebbs…       

Water flows…   

Where I go…

            No one knows…

And the twilight fades away            

Goodbye sunshine, goodbye day

Darkness Falls…              

Velvet night…         

Not a star…      

        Shining bright…

Suddenly I feel my hand in yours

Guiding me to virgin shores

Coming Home…          

Achings cease…

Finally…

                Finding peace.

Author's Note

I believe the subject of the poem is fairly self evident, let me know what you think!

[Ghost of Jupiter]

I loved the format of this poem...how each stanza faded, went along well with the concept and gave you that feeling of sand slipping through your fingers...

"Everything drains away from me
Taste the salt, smell the sea
Current ebbs…
Water flows…
Where I go…
No one knows…"
