Haven't been here in ages, this new section is pretty cool...

Just a short one, I'll be back tomorrow to give some comments on others work. Promise smile

Slightly altered version in post 3


Death of Heaven
© 2007 Mel


The evening sky melted like candle-wax
Dripping down forever’s black canvas
Setting suns bled orange hues into the earth
And we watched with awe

We were tired, but content
This last day spent holding hands
And exchanging breath
Knowing tomorrow would never come

Turning away from the death of heaven
Walking towards the steel of the city
We made a promise
Whatever happens in the final minute
We would not let go……

I awoke to an empty promise…
You let go


Alone in my morning, I closed my eyes
And searched for you
Through visions of sadness and relief
Of beauty in decay
For a moment, I thought I caught a glimpse of you
Struggling to separate the last dying orb from its legacy…

But I knew
It was not you I saw,
But the memory of you
And the sun
And the death of heaven
And us all
