Sunset Shadows (Color)

Pensacola FL Sunset

~ Black Velvet Rose ~
Alone in this little corner
Of your lost demented world.
Do you remember me
As I remember you?
In another time, another place
We watched the fading of the horizon.
With a deafening howl of lost souls
Through winding screams.

On a powdered breeze
Of diminished lines.
A reminder of white laughter
Amongst blackened days.
A sky ablaze with lightning sighs
And static tears from empty eyes.
Full of discarded promises
In a land of twisted dreams.

A mesh of shadows
Reach across the skies.
I sit alone
Waiting for one small glimmer
Of your silent return.
A comfort of abundant fear
Washes over my weary bones
Leaving a blue haze of darkened ashes.

As the blackened tears
Flow from these wicked eyes.
A mournful soul plants seeds
Of Velvety Black Roses.
They sprout and bloom
In a pool of blackened sin.
Only to wilt and die
In a brimstone fire.....
