Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-07-02 09:26 AM


The twilight dips her hand into the sky,
Fragile fingers interrupting its tranquility-
Swirl the darkness.
Colors stain the looking glass of her heart,
Dusky pleasure
Rewarded not through a single breath.
It is everything that I am,
This paradox of changes.
Wordless,
Full of passion,
An understanding not yet met by human eyes.
Peaceful aromas to arise,
Eventide closes her palms together-
Night is here.
Born in the lofty tragedy of heaven's sighs
Were you,
Giving me to the praise of evensong's delight.
This milky blackness,
Make it mine, make it mine;
Beautifully fated keeper of a lover's last demise.
Imprint upon me something,
Steal my very soul away from me with a kiss,
Crowned with vespers fine.
One hazy moment to linger on my lips,
Oh, sweet it is!
You somehow retain all your glory in the imminence of defeat-
And let this be the haunting prelude to my midsummer's broken dream.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

I like your imagery...

again you amaze me with your beautiful words...
