over the abysmal plains

Although it may be commendable color

To continue in the practice of loyalty to a cheat
is worse than to be left alone
while your heart suffers needlessly
the other is reveling in meandering lustful excesses

Love undergoes a withering death

All sense of time is lost yet the pain continues on
an exercise in futility with loving dreams in tow,

Though burdened by the reality of unrelenting loss

Lost alone

Unable to face the terrors

Of the recurrent theme

A false kiss rendered

Displacing the loving visions of the apparent reality

With the new painful course

My loving partner

A dis apparent, ghoulish beast

Their resolve lacking or elsewhere held close,

I fear for my intentions

Deeds honestly, i would have done

Tortured out of my mind

The love lost

Abandonment

In come

The misty blues

 Strikes hard my mood

As salty rain

Gently falls from sullen skies

Gray clouds

Shroud the quiet scene

Desolation reigns

Over the abysmal plains

Gathered ends without means

Broken hearted souls

Shattered dreams

As a ghostly wind drags on

Uttering ghastly sighs

With a

Horrid stench

A sticky cold sweat

Stifling heat and humidity

Feeling filthy, unclean

Polluted with a foreign odor

Heartaches reverberating

Endlessly

Creating a cacophony

Crying echoes

The dying screams of lost souls

A silent prayer is sent

A calling somewhere in between

Solemnly wept

Breaking the eerie silences

In an alliance

With loves' death

Disillusionment

Strikes

So swiftly with it's

Punishing blow

Persistently tormented souls

Destroying futures

Of the next order

Creating the unborn dreams

Of aborted fetuses in a conference call to truth

Life held in abeyance

Awaiting the judicial deliberation

In preparation to announce a profound

Final judgment

Of

Nightmarish fantasies

Unborn

Love needed contributions

Which were never made...

A tidal wave of broken promises

Drifting in from the south
tearing at my heart

Before i am washed away

I add my scream to the silent

Heartbeat rhythm pulse

Drowning alone

Once more

As my spirit leaves me

In my

Last waking moment

I offer a prayer for you

My wandering soul

Lost

Across the abysmal

Plains

Love is calling

...can anyone read the signs

We are being tested

In truth

Are we willing?

To uphold the task

To love

Despite our loss

Return to the garden

The gate has been left open

Calling us for reentry

If we have learned

From our mistakes
