A Paradise Lost, Pt. II

The curtain falls upon my face
And I peer through its mesh
Wrinkled black rain, suspended
At the onset of a blotted dream
Saturn devours the sun
Morning pales to a twilight glow
And the amber cast of summer
Bleeds into the gutters

I breathe in
Plumes of salt-laced petrichor

Within this great, swirling darkness
Echoes the cries of a paradise lost
A paradise lost, my Love
Buried beneath the earth
Clenched between your still hands
Dancing behind your closed eyes
A paradise lost, my Love
Buried beneath the earth

Love stains a colorful ache
Each sting births me anew
To wade in the waters of your memory
Pain pirouettes, boring deep
Tethers me to thee

A paradise lost
