Into the Night

and when I stare at night
searching for stars
that never were
crumbling grains of sand
between the leaves
of a grinding knife

looking at love
that feeds on lies
as strangers walk by
into the shading
of my fading life

having said
what should have been
and having cursed
the truth I’ve seen
I rest my case
as known by sight
and disappear
into the night

No longer

no longer shall I crumble

to their sneering

if lecherous vampires

wallowing in the mud

of unfulfilled desires

fill up my loneliness

no longer shall I stumble

to the sheering

of broken sails

lost in the wind

ever claiming more

but never less

for the arrow I shot

never found an oak

the love I wanted

merely a stroke
