Grey Lady
In your skin,
tones and sunsets pale
to
shades of grey
a passing lonely ship
sailing
away,
taking the
breeze the sun
and all that could have been,
could have begun,
with
a billowed sigh,
your eyes are
closing
like the ashes of regret
like stoney diamonds,
they cry... unset,
closing
like a large chest
filled with pillioned memories
and
conquests
now
trapping
everything inside
catching
the high tide
let it spill clear and true
all over me, over you
wrap your sails tight
opaque
it's not too late
for my breath to sail you high
close your diamonds
on the sky
and sway in your tones of grey
