    imperishable perfection

She is imperishable perfection
the cold, inscrutable reflection  
of forever unreachable beauty
just beyond the flawless bounds
of a mirror within a dream;
and my love is the wind
through lost labyrinths
of her indifference
or the empty caverns
of a broken heart
on this eternal night.

"just beyond the flawless bounds of a mirror within a dream" Love this and all the rest. The touch of the master poet's pen is something I never miss.

Your poetry is stark with a bit of heartache, but you always manage to make it beautiful.

Absolutely exquisite, Bruce.  I am sorry that you are so sad, but you turn sadness into beauty, so well.  You are a wordsmith par excellence!
