When Once of Wandered Mind

my heads old eyes are flicking shut all saw ,been seen before my leathered skins last taste of lust a taste that screams of more my ears fall deaf when cloaked in love a cloak im yet to find my heart back then was full of trust when once of wandered mind. the hours of time seep bye like sand and the days lead not too night a whisky jar to steady my hand that keeps me still to write a poisoned pen to twist the fate of the love i watch so blind an opium pipe to ease the hate when once of wandered mind. this room of candle wax and words with bottles as empty as i a bed unslept and taps unturned mark my wish to die my loveless lips of biting words prey hatred on the kind i lost serenity along with her when once of wandered mind a frail old fool in fickle skin double bents my soul and flesh the hatred that consumes within is the only sign of life thats left i kneel beside your tomb of rest and wish inside to climb lay my head on your bony breast when once of wandered mind

The high mark is for drama, sense, and rhyme. There are some missing apostrophes ans some misspellings.
