Drawing Nearer

Lost love my shadowy dark companion

Staring across at me from a wide canyon

As society self-destructs with reckless abandon

Still others gloat from within their crystal mansions,

Sitting at the very edge of things to come

My heart is still alive trying not to succumb

To the dark forces that make us bitter and numb

A sweet smile like the taste of a plum,

Somewhere there’s a woman who never found

The love of her life though she was earthbound

Even the falling of fragile tears makes a sound

Word of advice, never make an angel frown,

The vulnerability of the heart you cannot measure

Despite the distraction of momentary pleasure

Some spend their lives seeking the perfect treasure

To them there’s no such commitment as forever,

Take me on a submersible journey

I promise I’ll lay still on the gurney

A momentary chrysalis in eternity

The catacombs will become my fraternity,

I live in a world of absurdity

A heightened sense of insecurity

Lacking the existence of purity

The idol worship of evil deities,

Just a foolish reflection in the mirror

Staring back at me even clearer

Fate, I have no reason to fear her

Sometimes I can feel the end drawing nearer.
