It came undone,

Then, there were none,

Save one,

Me.

Sitting, on a silent peak,

Reaching for the stars,

Asking for heaven's guidance,

And advice for all of man.

The wind it blew,

A mighty howl,

Fiercely tossing me side to side,

Yet I waited, undeterred, for the smallest of signs.

From flowers blooming,

To leaves dying,

I counted the years flitter by,

Until, no longer could I listen to the silence of the skies.

I screamed,

I shouted,

Until my voice gave way,

Only quietness gave me a reply.

I ran away,

From that place,

Defeated,

Tears now in my eyes.

Into the world,

Of man, I found myself,

Wishing,

For the silence, on the hill.

Yet, there was no returning,

For it was pillaged,

By the greedy hand,

Of man.

IT CAME UNDONE

the walls ripped from the floors

and the roof began to fall

tried to dodge the squashing

and tripped on a soccer ball.

THEN THERE WERE NONE

lights-out

SAVE ONE...

somewhere in the darkness it sleeps

subconscious itching to creep

leap on the unsuspecting

in too much a-hurry to see.

IT WAS ME.

Just a dream.

Vulnerable to his hooded chocolate eyes

mesmerized as he seductively toyed

with buttons channeling down my neck

It came undone

then there were none

Save one

dangling from a thread

gnawed apart by flawless white teeth

of the stranger I’d just met at the gym

the voluptuous and willing body revealed

It was Me

The ties that bind,

Me to you.

The invisible allures,

The tangible needs,

The painted teasings,

Our innuendo dreams.

The lies that cut,

Me from you.

The hidden rendezvous,

The real deception,

The cutting betrayals,

Your revealed cruelty.

The last tie that bound,

Me to you.

It came undone,

Then there were none,

Save one...

It was me.
