Within two worlds

Wind carries the sand

Of a desert of emotions

Unto tear stained cheeks

Skin seared by the power 

Of oblivious stars

He cries... shedding tears... though none are left

They cry... golden tears... diamonds glistening

Solace found underneath a palm 

Brushing the burning void away

The jewels of their emotions

Are left abandoned in the sand

As they face one another

In a dimensional confrontation

Twin images etched in glass

And the backdrop of the cosmos

The stars disregard

His pain laid flat 

Against the pane

He cries... shedding tears... though none are left

They cry... golden tears... vagabonds in the sand

The scream echoes silent

Within a world forever deaf

He sees within the other

Reality's reflection surreal

And as the bright stars arch

The power of the palm grows

Extinguishing his silent partner

And his phantom world

In contrary motion

He raises his frame

As the other falls...

Shattering upon the barren earth's kiss

Like a thousand sapphires

Reflecting the light of the stars

Flung against the night's canopy

And his end becomes clear 

In rippling pools of a desert oasis...

Transcend the line drawn in the sand

By the remnants of his twin

Orphan the sanctity of the palm

And eschew the safety of its shadow
