On and on...

The Road stretches on forever
Through starlight and sunshine,
Paved of gold by a true believer
Always with a twist, never in a line.

A form walks the path, so lone
A light shines from within, so bright,
Nothing but flesh wrapped over bone
A million amongst the living in sight.

She walks alone, a bitter and saddened soul
Trapped within her, soundless screams.
An actor on the stage, without a role
She roams in her sleep, searching for dreams.

Behind her he walks, so near yet so far,
Collecting all the blood that was spilled
He walks on ahead, so near yet so far,
Removing all the hurdles that would’ve killed.

Her creased heart, burdened with worries,
He breaks and builds it back again.
Encompassing her mind by his memories,
Filled with many a loss, and but a few gain.

Her pretty eyes, blinded by light unearthly.
He becomes darkness epitomized,
To draw it unto himself, completely,
And die a thousand deaths, immortalized.

The stars shatter in the sky as she walks,
He fractures to spread the light within.
All life dries and wither away as she talks,
He bleeds to spread the life within.

She looks to the heavens for prayers.
All she sees are comets that crash and burn,
On herself they form gaping craters,
And still she hopes, never to learn.

He tries to catch the stars as they fall,
Sacrifice all that he has, and all that he is,
An act of defiance so grand, so small,
To save all that she was, and all that she is.

The distance between them too great,
Oceans of sorrow and joy in between.
Ever to blame, the cruel mistress Fate,
And their guardian angels, none too keen.

Years apart and years together they spent,
Always aware of each other, but never knowing.
Tried to cheat, old Father Time, wrinkled and bent,
Like two streams, in different directions, always flowing.

Their hearts reach out in search of one other,
Their thoughts, faster than light can ever travel.
Stronger than diamonds, a bond unlike another,
And yet so fragile, as a spiders web, unravel.

All the dust that had risen, settles down,
The flame left the ground scarred, scorched,
Nothing but a hazy grey and a dull brown.
They wander aimlessly, starved, parched,

Lost behind the mask of a smiling clown,
With all their emotions wrung high and dry,
With neither an evil smile nor a caring frown.
They plod on and on, apart till they die,

Their dying breath, their beating hearts, slowing
Between all the crying, a new ending.
Their thoughts and their dreams, ever shrinking,
Between all the kissing, an old beginning.

Forever in life divided, yet in death united.
Eyes closed, they go forth, hand in hand.
Up above, lightening flashed, thunder rolled,
Green and bright with Life, now the land,

The flowers bloom away, pretty and colourful,
The winds pick up, and fragrance lives on,
Nature reclaims what was its, so wonderful
The Circle continues, and Life goes on and on….
