Tapestry

Tapestry

By Jacob Traver

Complex as the universe this universal ache
My thoughts, my life does it overtake
How deep the pain caused in troubled outside mind!
How lost... the love I cannot find

What longing and desire I have for love
Yet anger - hatred like a falling dove
Passion for both good and evil
Does no good, Sees no evil

The sun does rise therefore light can flee
From its dark captivity that repeatedly traps me
In this heavy heart that tortures my soul
And never can be content, never be full

Why must I feel empty when I understand
The trap of the heart hiding beneath the sand
The sand of lies, the sand of promises,
The sand of betrayal through wrenching kisses

I walk alone...

No one lover can comprehend
The love I found, lost, and could not defend
I drown off the shore of the gleaming sand
Catching glimpses... but not feeling the warmth in my hand

Does no good, Sees no evil -
Love - a complete upheaval
I walk alone, by choice, my own
Love is a tapestry; sewn, torn, sewn

I walk alone...
Sewn, torn, sewn...
