They search the trails of fire
Two fools without a plan
And hope to quench desire
But know they never can
For deep do run the rivers
Of blood that they have shed
Two takers and two givers
Hear the same voice in their head
For they are only dreamers
Feathers blowing with the wind
Two silly someday schemers
Well aware that they have sinned
But can't ignore the calling
Of the sound of loneliness
And they cannot help their falling
Into arms they can't possess
Perhaps beyond tomorrow
Their wishes will be met
And no more nights of sorrow
Will they have to forget
But that could take forever
And all they have is now...
So say hello to never
And a dream fate won't allow
Rakerman

First stanza reminded me of Macbeth and his lady's story
I like this -
Extremely powerful!
this is just incredible!
You present some very powerful metaphors in this piece&it all ties in so well together!
I love "Silly someday schemers", the alliteration really adds emphasis the piece needs!
The ending is so powerful, "A dream fate won't allow" - it adds the urgent desperation which makes the whole piece that extra little bit special
Good luck

I see I missed this one. Now it is my turn to say this one hit me like a brick and I ain't telling ya why either
I will say this, loneliness is one of the saddest, most heartwrenching states for a soul to be in, especially for those who possess the kind of soul that craves love. Again, an awesome write. This one punched me in the gut.
