Swept Away
Tumbling tortured footsteps
steeped in age and will
He was her forever after
she was his safety pill
Swallowing breathless air
images no one could compare
pulled together by time
mountains they would have to climb
Waltzing to the song
that first brought them together
scent of her perfume
her body as light as a feather
As a breath drew close
eyes fixed on one another
hands held tight
her last fight
Tears fell down
on her lifeless cheek
a man once strong
now on his knees weak
They were once inseparable
united as one
her body gave up
her spirit lived on

Frozen
Sudden glimpse of shadows
days that once stood still
memories of those moments
sending shivers, giving chills
Waking up to nothing
walls that slowly move in
voices showing anger
frustration no will
As eyes that are worn
and tired
push away night into day
he was a vulnerable pray
not wanting anyone to stay
Curled into foetal position
twisting back and forward
voices there once again
feeling like a coward
Shimmering light it glimmers
washing away the decay
finally a tunnel of hope
now no feeling
no tightness of the rope
Stretched arms out
legs in position
Taking deep breaths
no opposition
Smiling at last
encounters of the past
hardship is gone
knowing he belongs
