Graveyard Coffeehouse

Chasing A Dream

---

I see them all
Names
Without faces
Sensual stories
Without
Rhythm
Rhyme
Empty husks
Of poetry
Yesterday's kisses
Moans
Sighs
Beckoning
From the shadows
Gone
Forever
Creatures of the Night
Damned
Like me
Cursing the day
Feeding
On rancid memories
Erotic symphonies
Echos of love
Whispering
On the wind
Like
Disembodied
Screams
Crimson wine
Flowing like rivers
Marking time
Razor sharp
Incisors on pale flesh
Ecstasy
Pleasure
Pain
Taunting destiny
We thrilled
To stare
Insubordinate
Into the mirror
Expecting to see
A monster
Getting a reflection
Of nothing
Blank stare
Mundane absence
Crying out
In horror
Why not me?
Fighting
Burning terror
In icy purple veins
Alone
Extending
A hand
Fighting back
Maniacal
Laughter
A wicked grin
Seeing
All those names
Mockery
Headstones
With a cemetery smile
Buried six feet under
Keeping time
Distance
Walking
Further
Into the unknown
Fading
Into black
Obscurity
Tasting
Her lips
Again
In my mind
Feeling her thighs
On my hands
Full breasts heaving
Making love
Sweat
On goose flesh
Memories
That haunt
Me
Remnants
Stale
Bread crumbs
Leading on
To nowhere
Chasing a dream
That
Will not die
Escaping
Into darkness
On black leather wings
One more time
As I sleep
Remembering
Tasting
Ghosts of a dream
Fantasies
Of
Lost
Lovers.
