Awayness

For once we thought
we've lost our faces,
in the darkness
that have eclipsed us both
and left our souls broken,
sparsed,
to sublimate
or frolic with vain,
to forge wild paths
in a wayfinder's maze;
trailing the wilderness
of a lost paradise,
only to encounter fate
coming to give voice
and command our members
to lust and yearn
for one another,
like two lone lambs
under the shadow of a shepherd
we travelled miles apart
aware of nothing
but sunny memories
fast fading before our eyes
with the dust in the flesh
threatening to claim it's own...

Alas! The pages of history
lay bare before us now,
waiting for us to write our story.
