Gossamer Wings

“Gossamer Wings”

Into timid lands I roam
upon sweet dreams
longing of a life never known
crowned Queen without a throne

Trapped in a glass box
thoughts cut deep with each blow
imprisoned by childish memories
struck by foolish wanderings

The heart throbs for a lost love
cradled in the arms of a mother
never before seen only heard
whispers sail along the breeze

An apparition with gossamer wings
silhouetted by the moon
devoid of any light
soft melodies of tears

I cry each night
my pillow drenched
shattered at the core
sleeps rescue a lonely reprieve

Awake in nightmares
myself only to blame
weakened by a thought
a crippled body lay

Can a broken heart kill?
an abscessed wound
it’s poison seeps
into the very soul.
