Written in the dust

Written in the dust from my heart</u>

Foot steps clear away the dust form the old wood floor
Creaks and slaps ring loud every step he took
The neighbors stopped and stared through dirty glass
As he lost track of time and the moon rose, the grey lights dimmed and the candles died
His heart racing into the night with every turn to the beat only he could hear
Silent they gathered and watched as tears started to fall
His body moving with the breath of angels and leaves went flying when he hit the floor
His heart stopping and his eyes still peeled open wide
The stars began to glow, even the world in light could see them through the clouds that night
The rain started to fall as his head drew back and gasped

The sun shone bright and her hands played fast
The keys were rusted and broke
The strings out of tune from age and use
The dust settled over the black lacquer began to shake with the earth below
Eyes pressed tightly closed as the hours passed on by
Sweat breaking over her brow she danced her fingers fast and hard
The pedal below was cracked and wouldn't depress as she tapped her foot in beat
The hour grew late and something cracked in her soul
A single tear refusing to fall set itself on her red stained cheek

The rain came down faster without a cloud in the sky
It was like the heavens were crying as the fire in his soul burnt out
His last movement with parted lips he cried out with passion
Not a soul stood without Goosebumps over their skin as they heard his last cry
Tears in eyes they turned around and left him to die as the rain washed his tears away

The wind blew hard and she leaped for m her seat, fingers playing fast over keys
The tear breaking form her cheek, stained from the harsh winds of the cold world away
Staring off into the space ahead, seeing her fingers running throughout his hair
Right hand slamming down as the thread breaks and rings throughout her mind
The key cracked and torn falls into the grass as she turns and begins to walk away
Hands clasped with his, they walked off the dirt and grass and into the clouds
And from above not a living soul could hear the tune she played as he danced his way back to her
The angels began to cry, screaming and singing his last words to the world below

“I may die, but my love cannot”


The clouds parted way and the angels sang
Two souls making way, two souls forever true

The moon began to shine as the dirt laid still
Not a soul waiting near
Two grey stones and a promise kept for ever more
80 and in love, scribed onto the stony markings as two children walked away to the car
Angels singing to them, There lay daddy and mommy” with smiles through the tears

The clouds parted way and the angels sang
As the world began to turn again.






“I may die, but my love cannot, We may die, but my love Will Not”
