unholy days of mine
when i found you
my spirit hungered
chewed to the core of
my soul’s bones
my thirst rampant
raged through
rusted tunnels
of wasted yesterdays
my life dark
under blackened sun
obliterated moon
sawdust stars
unholy days of time
when i found you
my eyes blinded
belied reality
my lips parched
by love’s skeleton
held no succor
my ears deaf
silenced by sin
my voice mute
lost in searing screams
unholy days of then
when i found you
hands no longer held
arms no longer reached
feet no longer climbed
self no longer sang
when i found you
unholy days
unholy time
unholy then
when i found you
i was found
o holy love
o holy
holy

I read this last night, I think it was, and was blown away. This is just beautiful, gypsy!
this was a piece that like a great many others just simply was done in a few seconds - literally - and i'm always taken aback when others respond to something i've written - anyway, many many thanks as always for your kind words, trish...
