"Love Me Now"

If I should die tonight
Would there be words left unspoken

Unexpressed emotions
A soft voice echoing, but I no longer hear

Your lips parched searching for passion
Yearning for a solitary kiss

Tormented not to find the depth’s of my gaze
Eyes that once reflected your own soul

Needing to find solace in my embrace
Lost in melancholy’s trance

Words that were once music to your ears
A deafening melody now lingers

Ashen grayness overpowering light
Crimson sun dissolved in tears

Wandering without companionship
Could another quench your thirst?

Consumed by pale weariness and perplexity
The will to dream...lost

A frailty of hope’s courage
Gnarled shadows exposing disbelief

Opiate winds impel
Pebbles washed to the sea

Blurring scenes, faded images
Blind to the memories

Tears wilt upon the roses
Waters of deep woe

A trembling leaf dying
Falling to hardened ground in grief

Your spirit melting into a pool of suffering
Where ecstasy once dwelled

Flame of life dying
Once burning so bright


Grasp
the
chance

Make this moment live again

While
I
still
breathe

Love me, touch me, and speak the unspoken
Take my hand, feel my heart beating

Light the ardent fire, interfusion of two
And should I die, part of me will remain
