Three

By pessum ire animus

A single tain whistle
Amongst the crickets chirping
The bridge lights illuminate
This lovely riverside bed

Head spins, thoughts uncontrolled
Not a single cloud, mere stars
Passers by only miles away
Oblivious of my eyes

A dingy, gently, silently
Blows by unknowing
LIke the occasional
Fading fish

Cold steel, pressed ever
Ever so slightly
Worlds of visions pass
Torment my mind

A soft squeeze
Barely even noticable
Blacker than the night sky
The sound unheard

A simple face appears
A distant fisher emerges
The innocence, the trust
would never forgive me

A cold thud as
As metal hits metal
Decocked, safety reinstated
A sole tear runs down my face

Life will crumble
Friends betray
My only savior
My protector

How can one make
Change a person
Fill a cold heart
With love

I know your reason
Now, why God has crossed
Both of our paths
In such an untimely manner

Youre just one person, a miracle to me
Maybe one day you will truley see
How you, my love, saved this soul
But for you, you are only three years old

    Lovely ending and uplifting too. A couple typos in the last two stanzas detracted slightly, thanks for this offering.
