Tears to tears draw the line <br />Love is never forgotten <br />Years to years in its sunshine <br />Leaves of life rotten <br />Dream kingdoms never come <br />Only the heart reappears <br />Where it was and where its plum <br />Sometime sometimes not clears <br /> <br />Through time's dark <br />Each mood and affection <br />Golden visions not to spark <br />Into the heart's connection <br />Hours onward to end die <br />Affliction of dark to see <br />There once were tears to cry <br />From under its love plea <br /> <br />What shall last a little while? <br />Into roads going through <br />Hours futile is like the mile <br />Only walked when needn't to <br />Tears to tears my roots have dried <br />Reappearing grayish dim <br />Into its much heartbreak tide <br />Hostage in a mime whimsy whim<br /><br />Peter S.
