echoes

stirring the cauldron of shattered ripped dreams

setting alight the yearning of other places and another day

 

echoes

whipping up suppressed wounds long put to rest

mending the fractured paths onto which lost moments stray

echoes

spawning endless conversations about time’s sharp blade

cutting into today’s tired acquiescence and yesterday’s raging desire

echoes

brewing life into the chalice of extinguished longing

sprinkling smouldering flakes of stripped identity into time’s thirsty fire

 

echoes

stuttering fragmented words unable to comprehend

moments lost and forever misplaced in the shadow of bygone years

 

echoes

manically trying to recapture the truth once so deeply felt

now rotting in the alleyways of fate and drowning in destiny’s fickle tears
