With a dying heart
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
You left me
alone
And in my final hours
of desperation
I call out to you
in a silent prayer
Calling to the Creator
To give one last sign
As i give up on me
Send a prayer to you
Of my love
Which is not a fluke
As my last cries
fading to cosmic echoes
Leaves the flesh
of my tormented heart
After all my failure
was only human
My soul speaking naturally
to you
Even as my spirit is being wrenched
From my broken flesh
Sending a message in a bottle
No this was not a test
What i told you was all true
I needed you Too
much not have you
I failed As you did not hear my call
And so as i fell to my death
down the spirit well
Phase-shifted
to Essence-heaven
Or fallen into the echoes
of spirit=Hell
Waiting for
the recognition signal
In answer
from you
but somehow
cannot get through
Holding on
with my last heartbeat
hear
this Cry of love
as i enter the vortex
of an alternate-reality
enter a time bender
meet my ancestors
sign the logbook
into the ethereal realm
Crossing the bridge
into never more
Wishing all the happiness to you
I could not bring
