Almost Forgotten

Almost Forgotten

Silent lessons haunt the present
Escaping through the rapids of senses and time
Ambiguity becomes a friend again
Creating drama of confusion
Like slaps against the cold bitter
Face of yesterday

Desire jousts and pleasure feigns anticipation
Repaying the pain
A debt owed to a demon
That lives in the spire and alley
Of wasted dreams

It fits no longer
Emotionless expressions mask the wanting
The stillness of summer's air
Chanting the lonely thoughts
Of lovers lost
