Standing on the hill And staring upward Into the infinite black Alone but for Heavens company This night, like so many others The Moon hides her face from me Like the eternally forsaken lover So much to give But none to take it. Her perfect flaw is revealed Though she will not notice me. And so, I bathe in the stars And take what comfort I can They counsel patience, Though even Wind and Water Cannot sway me quickly For by the sculptors hand I am Stone and Steel In the likeness of Apollo And formed to be just this; Frozen in my longing For the heart of the Night |

This is absolutely terrific. Five stars. Seriously, really good. Really really good. Fall in love early, fall in love often. |

@ viking_metal- Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! @ Earth Angel- Thank you, I was afraid that it was a bit too... ephemeral? @ ThisDiamond- Thank you, and it's good to be here! |
