afterGLOW

Dreams still glimmer in these EYES,

Yet the heart with meaning shies.

With leaden WINGS and faltering flight,

And weeping EYES in reluctant flight

Say it now,

NO dreams to-night,

Close windows, shut the light.

No more hide and seek of games

With sinister meaning and COLD futures.

Let silence bind each wound,

Let HOPE sleep, lest its OWN wound.

For dreams have teeth, they gently BITE,

Whispering lies in silver light.

What was once a holy flame

Now LOW glows, too weary to proclaim.

So hushed the stars, muffle the skies,

Let quiet be where DESIRES takes its last

Not every dream that is SEEN is to STAY

Some only arrive to pass on...
