the fire fades away
and darkness takes over --
hour of the wolf

a cup of dreamwine
and some milk of the poppy --
the king sleeps tonight

the wounds may heal
the pain will always remain --
a stab in the back

dining alone
on a table for two --
a date with self

a fork in the road --
difficult as it may be
here we say goodbye

eyes to the sky
desperate for shooting stars --
a thousand dreamers

fade to black --
blowing out the candles
one by one

disappointment --
gazing at infinity
with a broken heart

the child remembered
carousels and ferris wheels --
cotton candy dreams

a fickle sky
inviting yet threatening --
september rains

memories of her --
bitter sweet and delicate
like dark chocolate
