Fifty Six

Memories that you lace, so eager to please, the rise of your face, you recoil at my thunder, my own conceit, a man fixed by number, a certain calling too late, eager to squeeze, what I need you to say, a life uncluttered, my insides screech, don't search for a lover, I'll find you one day, when I watch you sleep, see your dreams dedicate, a time of great longing, a crossing of the sea, waste of time to bother, I'm the disgrace, beat a cowards retreat, bound fast to the day, it makes you wonder, stones, wreaths, grave, who splits who asunder, not knowing what to say who can smile easy, or just look away, at spirit's release ?
