Somewhere Beyond Time



Somewhere beyond time 
In a deferred dream of rhyme and rhythm
I still hold you in my arms
In the darkness of closed eyelids
Doors open to the future and the past
As we make sweet love within immortal flames 
In a swirling sea of blood
Such is the fate consigned to lost lovers and the damned
Dancing like illusions in the night sky 
Silhouettes on a weeping moon's glow
I whisper softly in your ear
As we twist and sway
I never meant this to be so my darling
Before you smile and we passionately kiss
Each of us awaking alone
In the blinding Sun
Grasping onto fading memories
That refuse to die quietly
Dark embers of coal that simmer and burn red hot
Like condemned hearts on fire 
Within a conflagration of love.
