The Empty Flow

shamrain--The Empty Flow
this garden will never bloom
the moments that shone
are far this ocean
no longer blue conceals
all beauty drowns us in gloom pale ghosts
in the shadows
dead faces in the water
barren spaces left behind melt into waves
in the empty flow
everlasting stains a quiet solitude tension wanes
within i am as empty as the ocean the promises
i made for you
part from the seams
too soon pipe-dreams
torn apart slowly pass on vanish for good vanish
for good
the world is tranquil now
close your weary eyes let sleep wash away this desolate reality tell you a fairy tale tell realities apart this is our haven
within this quiet room
you′ll be safe until the dreams escape
the dreams always escape am i still alive?
