Graveyard Coffeehouse

Love, Lies, And Alibis

---

Whispers in the darkness
Ghosts of yesterday
Buried within pale sheets
Six feet under
Beckoning from below
Underneath the bed
Telling stories
Of lovers
Damned by Fate
Swimming against
The tide
Rising
Falling
Like her heaving breasts
Fingers entwined
Souls
Inseparable
A patch work quilt
Keeping you warm
In the frigid black
Telling tales
Timeless stories
Of
Sensuality
Pleasure
Pain
Picturing her
Voluptuous body
In your arms
Again
Caressing the face
That seduced you
Like a ship
Capsized
In a storm
Seeking the safety
Of a far away beach
Lips that meet
In a passionate kiss
Two hearts
That beat
Side by side
Flesh pressed
To flesh
Electric
As bodies collide
Pounding
Against each other
Waves
On a rocky shore
Words
Forming exotic phrases
Like
I love you
Dissolving
In the sand
Illusions and castles
Built on a hill
That cannot stand
Forever
Crashing into the ocean
Falsehood
Betrayal
Promises
Weights
Love could not survive
Like
The light of day
Waking up
With a monster
Naked and alone
Wondering
Who am I?
How did I get here?
Listening
To explanations
Recriminations
Whos
Wheres
And
Whys
Love, lies, and alibis
Lost
In shadows
Memories
That will not die
Arising at Night
In dreams
With blood
On your lips
A tear
On your cheek
Euphoric
For an evanescent moment
Looking again
In her eyes
Seeing eternity
The beautiful lie
Watching it wither away
A speck on the horizon
Flying alone
To the next
Dark
Never land
On
Black
Leather
Wings.
