It dies with the dusk
it is a lost lover's heart
there's no dawn for him.
there's no dawn for him
pestilence running rampant
crucified for love
crucified for love
cold iron bites warm flesh
as spirit sublimes
a spirit sublimes
acrid scent of death covers
a small town moonlit
a small town moonlit
a ghostly scene - deserted
and no stars in sight
And no stars in sight
A dark alley winding
Cold feet echo
Cold feet echo
On the wet cobblestone path
Reviving memories
Reviving memories
Sad and happy
Mist in my eyes gleams
Mist in my eyes gleams
Mirorring greyness of thought
Shiny, yet obscure
Shiny yet obscure
A distant star in the horizon
Beckons me like a receding dream
GeetaShree, I think you got confused a bit - this is not a 5/7/5 syllable scheme.
Shi/ny/yet/ob/scure = 5
A/dis/tant/star/in/the/ho/ri/zon = 9
Bec/kons/me/like/a/re/ce/ding/dream = 9
I'll take the last 5 syllables from your last line
A Receding Dream
I feel the distance closing
in eternity
in eternity
feasting with old friends long gone
an empty promise
an empty promise
gods hard wired in human brains
effect seeking cause
effect seeking cause
mired in a superstition
blind to man's nature
blind to man's nature
his wife only sees the good
suicidal love
