Passion Lost

Lost Passion

I took the corners deathly fast
electric rush of jersey walls and cars
and lines blurred by like yellow shooting stars
igniting nights and burning gas
and ending with a crash

and jolts of flashing sonic light
from great musicians' soulful lightning notes
they painted lust with soul igniting strokes
and silenced lonely cries at night
with hopeful dreams of flight

in rooms where desperate angels played
I drank the amber nectar of the gods
my brain alight with thought and burning blood
where heroes bragged of broken fates
as strangers found their mates

skin to skin in sweaty sheets
the heavy darkness burned with black night fire
all thoughts erased by flushes of desire
ecstatic moans a desperate treat
as lust erased defeat

I tried to soar where angels fly
but somehow lost my borrowed silver wings
and now I must find joy in little things
and worst of all I have to try
to live beneath the sky

crimson angels please come back
and take me where the stars meet azure sky
give my senses back their nightly lie
I'm slowly sinking into cracks
where life is cold and black
