To a moon too far to reach

Just as the Owl senses
A prey too far to catch

Lost in a catacomb
Of desires not my own

I only wish I could
Pull away

I'd shed no tears

If that wolf
Should rip my throat

Spill my blood
Upon an uncaring ground

If it means returning
To a time long forgotten

When I could look at you
See the epitome of love

I fear that now
All I see is a void

I could chase your love
Down a mountainside of hope

But where would I be then?

Someday
I'll find the way

To reach the moon
To catch my prey [comments] => 6 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 22 [informant] => night_child [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
