Emerald Eyes

"I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade..."

When time stops abrupt
And despair spreads its wings,
I retreat to my corner desolate.
And rest my restless mind
Upon a dream of you.

Emerald lightning unravels my soul –
In the fierce thunder you unleash,
Drops of your voice spiral
Endless, infinite
An ocean forever.

I never wake up.
You carry me
Crossing the threshold of the smiling ache.
