Tell me my darling

What have we learnt

Scrounging the scraps for a morsel of worth

But you're starved to the marrow in a mouthful of dirt

As am I

A breadcrumb of solace to share with the weary and tired

Hear me my darling

We’re one and the same

Human and earthworm by variant name

Oh what creatures of habit and prey we became

By the by

But if you’ve made your peace with it, come then what may so shall I

See me my darling

The sprout of a seed

Flowering still in a thicket of weeds

Whеre a garden once stood now a crisp in thе heat

Burning bright

A dwindling ember eclipsed in the smog of a fire

Show me my darling

The hour long gone

Christen the sky with the ashes of dawn

Is it too late tomorrow to mend what was lost

Killing time

The blood of an hourglass spilt by the beckoning tide

Crimson on beige like the phantom of your hand in mine

Hold me my darling

Cradling warm

Breath of the armament losing its form

And if you’ll make your peace with me, come then what may so shall I
