Love Poem: Gazing To Water

Gazing To Water

Beneath the scratches
spanning this page,
random thoughts
have been paved


I have no substance
in the world at large,
but this beat of life
regroups to charge


From battle songs
to old lang syne,
until death does turn
the page of time


The industrial world
means nothing to me,
its the ones who love
I trust to set sight free


If I cling to a breath
that a burn cant free,
I’ll look to the water
for the release I seek


All through life
in times of need,
no call of help
was ignored by creed


Following your trail
through the paths of hell,
I’ll spit into the depths
of the devils well


Somewhere I read
that the pain we feel,
is the mirror of joy
no love can conceal


On the racetrack of life
I ride in my mind,
flashing past memory
I ache into the devine


Past the horrors and pain
I dont close my eyes,
as the panavision carved
it serratured my spine 


In the beauty and rapture
of the purest peace,
all the pain is forgotton
and I find my release


Acceptance of fate
was a bargain I struck
But all bets are off 
and I've run out of luck
