Crumble to Dust

We said that life would find a way
Through this echoing decay
Forming into time
Slow, you’ll take my hand in yours-
Silken linen, soft embrace
Will I hear and watch the raging fires
Come closer every day?
Skin caresses silk
We built an endless line
United in everlasting sleep
A thousand eyes watching our fate
Enshrouding us with dead leaves
The collection slips away
Drunk on the fear that crushed to silence
As I strain for the fading whispers of my soul
Ash rises from the ancient terror
And the leaves are blazing out of our control
Dancing in the void
Air and space between
Traveling through time to worlds unseen
White and purple fire
Entwined in cosmic lust
And we will slowly crumble to dust
Dust scatters all around
Now enveloping our world of steel and feathers
And the wind that whips up from the ocean tide
Atmospheric nights
We’ll watch the deepest blue arising
And strangling ancient
Time fades away and crumbles to the sea
Into the murky depths of the gaping abyss
Smoke fills my chest
Scared to begin, a voice offers bliss
Darkness descends, musky and warm
Heavy as wood and sweet as the dawn
Ash falls like rain, covering our lips
Bleaching our eyes and fingertips
We said that life would find a way
But we faded into grey
