Remember the night

We walked along the shoreline

Footprints in the sand

Dissipating with the tide

As did our love soon after

I awoke alone

You left with my stolen heart

My blood could not flow

Until a blade to my wrists

Released my enduring grief

footprints blooming

in the night remember

your blood

footfalls stained crimson

through sand, dirt,

snow, and rock

carelessly sprinkled prints

line our paths

through the broken night

untouched and untamed

even when the marks

fade to oblivion

waves washing away

mountains crushing proof

spring destroying happiness

even when we

are gone and no one

remembers us

and that giant night

is left consigned

to the book

of unrecorded majesties

the blood remains

blooming

reddening

spreading

growing

becoming

Foot prints in the sand

Yours mine maybe even Gods

We follow in hope
