Tenants of Time (revised)

​ 
Here we are lovers to be, dwelling in eternity
 We come, we go, but we never stay. Withering like the buds of May
Punished we are for existing. Banished we are for persisting
Victims of fate, cosmic bait. Lovelorn, forlorn, evanescing
A tale warned of a rose torn, uprooted. We never say die but are muted
A priestess sacrificed on the altar, a man’s soul to barter
A life in wandering, a song of plundering
 Pilgrims marching through eternity, seeking life, finding destiny
 A safe house with lock and key, a lost spouse returns to me
We travel where lovers rest and build comfort in a bird’s nest
Time ripping the fabrics that tie us, space revealing the truth that binds us
We unravel with such violence, treading the past and the present
We sail through the everyday, harried by the fate that will lead us astray
 We meet, repeat, our hearts beat, and we fall in love. We flee, we plea, and it’s not enough
We are criminal, keeping the subliminal secrets to worlds, more than you and I we are the universe in pearls
We are the darling buds of May and summer rain,
We’ll be forever fleeting, dying and repeating, floating as the breeze, familiar with ease
We are fragile, so, we live for the touch and go
Here we are lovers to be, dwelling in misery, victims of a cosmic crime. Tenants trapped in time
