Betrayed

drowning in a golden dream, cotton candy, silken cream, gilded waves of peace and prose, god of sun and warmth. extinguished flame, but briefly so, resting, while the tide is low. pacing in a lucid ebb, and flow of of yonder repeat. flaxen ember, cerealuean sparks, silent, now, in whispered dark. oozing into sacred spots...comforting the wounded dead. tempting the icy, moon drenched soul, sharing bubbles, champagne and more. opal sand and incense petals, that bind the hands that hold. wings that cradle the tortured shell, comfort and fold beneath the swells. of all thats real, but who are we? to question all thats right. jaded warrior, golden god. sapphire soul and unwilling bard. promise me just one second more, of your breath, your life, your soul. meant to be, yet nevermore. a subtle sigh, legend and lore. light and life and air and breath, where, before, was none. and forbid the shore where footprints die. curse the clouds which regret. to cry.  and know, that as you fade away, for one, two, souls have been betrayed.
