Parade

You breaketh my soul 
where am I to find it now that you've taken control
neglecting the tide 
my fountain of youth placed there by your side

Never shun the forgotten sinner that by shame ever to stay in remembrance
strained to be as Temperance
flawless by standards of mind playing amateurs in times glance
my savoring heart will not bludgeon yours if you offer it your stance

Procure me to the parade
hover moonlight shade
blue turns to jade
stay with the lovers heir to which we have made
peer into the ocean of silver ice crystal streams
seeing our fate in my dreams

Call of minds refuge
upon weary lands of ode
memories kept under deluge 
to decipher the code

Forgiven are ye who walk upon the stony grave of deserts loom
swept ashes by grace unbound naked as a cleansed fume

How glad I am to see you write again. I was going to give up seeing a poem of yours. And what a poem! So full of emotion, just as I like them. Well done.
