White Horses

Waiting for white horses

And a three piece suit that shines,

A suitcase full of presidents,

A handful of wistful time.

A prayer drifts on a smoky breeze

Up to a scornful horde.

Words too immense to be thought of,

Scribbled on a blank postcard.

These ageless desires, hope misconstrued.

Naked hearts burn in the rain,

Like brave little soldiers, smiling in time

-A recycled prophecy,

A shot glass of shame.

Blinded by the vigil

For a westward setting sun,

That paints the tears a color

Clear destiny is done.
