Sentenced....

They ask me why
I look for you
Among the starry blossom
Reflected,
On mossy waters...
They ask me why
Each gust of wind
Erratic,
Carries your lonely breath
In its flavour...
They ask me why
My forgotten winter
Is a prisoner,
Of decayed memories
Like broken songs strung together...
And I stifle
A drenched smile
Into the safe clasp
Of a shaken soul....
For they know not
That I'm sentenced
To a lifetime
Of your untethered sighs....
For they know not
That I'm sentenced
To the dreamless dungeons
Of your watery lies....
For they know not
That I'm sentenced
To the hazel depths
Of your burning eyes....
