Poem: Horizon's Gold Dust Ambered Glow

Horizon’s Gold Dust Ambered Glow
©Biz Gainey 2014

Trapped alone in lonely moments
lost to me is hope once known;
Bleak the view of yesteryear - between now
And tomorrow’s yet to come.
Groping eyes halfsighted see
 beyond this prison walled,
‘Neath lonely moments built by me.

Trapped alone in lonely moments
                seized by lust which scrapes me dry;
Erodes all gifts of cherished world as
Shallows roll desire’s tide.

My heart drowns
in thirst beneath its swell.
                Beguiled and hollowed life, she bleeds;
My heart’s tomorrow lost, Sadly
She weeps! 
Faint tears betray her whispered cry.

Trapped alone in lonely moments
                tattered and fray-ed

Yet my heart spies!
Horizon’s gold-dust ambered glow,

Enchants!
New life birthed from womb strife,
Arouse!  tomorrow’s yet to come.  

Eternal!
Beams tomorrow bright; Once
Trapped alone in lonely moments
Horizon’s gold dust ambered glow,

Enchants!
My heart’s deep cry.

Tomorrow’s hope need never die!
