Prelude

A Poem by H

"

Where do we go to feel wanted?

Where do we go to feel love?

Whatever monsters await me

As I wander from place to place

I look for the light

You said you left on

But the darkness now is overwhelming

We've waited far too long

Our time is ending

We are only young

In Death's looking glass

But when that shatters

We will really fade away

Like the drugs we take

And the love we make

It all eventually fades

In a world filled with lies

One veil leads to another

Tattered and wind blown

Like the flags of our fathers

And like the sacrifices

We all make for each other

And the mistakes we make

With empty alpologies

They say it's meant to happen

That it's part of the experiment

Our destinies have no master

But the butterflies control it all

Technicolor memories

And parched, withered dreams

Do they keep us going?

Or forever hold us back?

By the light of every moon

Transluscent souls depart.

ohh what reasoning like in a dream..but is there really a place where you find love
as i go from place to place i wonder where should i find the light,you said you left on
but all i see is the darkness and i stumble in every steps,and wait for but for how long
we are not young any more,and time is ending and death is close,everything gets shattered
and love fades away,the love we made..this world full of lies ,one lead to the other
our dreams could they keep us going..
ohh how your writes touch me so deep,what an insight into our souls you touch on
lovely write

"I look for the light You said you left on", the capitalization of "In Death's looking glass" .. this is very deep and personal .. thank you for this look inside .. reading this was like passing through erie winds, promise after promise of ill, leaving me alone at the end yet enlightened with bittersweet chance just before. I love the imagery you paint on anothers imagined canvas. awesome
