Gardens in the Dark

Alone at the light's end

In a marbled dusk embrace

You motion me forward

Twilight threads your face

 

There's a code of silence

Until the dark takes shape

In this garden where

Fallen stars do not age

 

Your breath was lost in our youth

But still you've known all my fates

A devoted beholder kept

Behind your Eden's gate

 

And dare I ask why you're gone

You'll simply turn and dissolve

Into the garden where

Your enigma remains unsolved

 

Were you attempting to calm

A storm that wouldn't subside?

God damn that suicide

And your garden in the dark
