The still of the night
My thoughts race in my mind
Heart slows in anticipation
Moonbeam shadows formed
Sentimental selfless soul
Lost by shards of reason
Held in animated hate
Like cancer to my flesh.
Fallen idols litter paths
Like a shattered constellation
Time has played the Joker
Smug it simply laughs
Freedom begs release from this
Grains of life consumed
A world now damned by very thoughts
As the sandman craves attention.
So tread the spine of rainbows
To a land that promise brings
Hollow thoughts forgotten
Until, once more.. the darkness falls.

Hearts slow in anticipation! What is the author thinking at this point? Most hearts beat a little faster when faced with love yet it is seen as sadness with dying faith. Beautifully written Mr James.
