Defenseless

 

The winds of fortune
blow the sands of time away.
Eternity mocks my gaze;
all my minutes, hours and days
are spent - all but today's.
I still don't see the end,
but it doesn't matter now.

​

I stand at the edge of an abyss.
An infinite expanse of emptiness
fills my sight and my mind.
Its depths are a tender caress
upon my restless senses
but remain forever defenseless
against love's endlessness.
