CHIMERA

It’s been so long 
Since we wrote each other 
An answering song 
I miss your voice 
Singing duets 
A voice lost in mystery 
Will you just be 
Forevermore 
A name 
Penned in the pages 
Of my history 

I know you roam 
The by lanes of my heart 
Venturing out 
When you think nobody's about 
But I hear your footfall 
Turning corners 
Of our memories 
In the night so dark 

We never found 
What we were looking for 
In the ancient maze 
Of an almost love 

And we fell

Through the cryptic veils of time,

Let illusions pour in

Let insanity reign

Mirages of trapped breaths

As we drown once again

In the bitter-sweet floods

Of anguished, love-torn rhyme

Even if it’s a fallacy

Let me believe, for a moment

That you are mine…
