s c a t t e r e d


s c a t t e r e d
on the ground lie those bones,
on the soil,
on the stones,
and just above life's toils,

and love isn't a game,
to be played with fragile fragments,
it isn't something of shame,
to be handled like glass bits,

and the crayons melt,
as the blood sheds,
the art gone; killed,
as the birds nest in their beds,

the passion gone forever,
the sacrifice laid to rest,
as obsession fades to a burning fever,
death being our very own guest,

the thoughts of men are scattered,
darling you live in a cruel world,
all who walk the streets battered,
lost souls just looking for gold,

there on the ground lie our bones,
the ones that were once held by flesh,
where blood pumped through with musical tones,
and where love bloomed with a hush...
