Running Out of Tears

Tears run down the face of Day

Pastel tints her bed, she lays

Eve’ yields thoughts of yesterdays

Wound on reels, remembrance plays

Waves flood cavern’s hollow core

Streams flow to forevermore

Bound to half a heart that soars

Where Heaven meets Horizon’s shore

Pouring out, the quill, heart stirs

Black and blue ink, I rehearse

Life, before death spoke its curse

Shade between each line of verse

Unraveled thoughts of threads entwined

Cobalt stained with merlot wine

Garnet weeps from harvest’s vine

Day, she sleeps, her pulse flatlines

Replay,

your light

slips slowly

from my mind.

vapors of your

mist, divine;

Sun, setting on a soul, enshrined

’Morrow’s dreams in moonlight’s shade

Hope holds on as memories fade

Running toward the Dawn’s new day

When sunlight, tears, evaporates
