Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-09-28 11:39 AM


somewhere  

the innocent drown in their own tears of disbelief
and I take my stand
of regret

lending mercy where there is none
becoming
one
with the lone and forsaken world

in my mind
I see

skies
mottled black and blue
skies

the eyes of heaven
bruised
with the passings of night
coveted like a midsummer's dream

all too fleeting
all too melodious
in a syrupy song bathed
sweet, sweet honey

drawing the stranger to the hive
oh, temptation

whilst perfection fashioned
an utopian world
for me
and you

it made no reverie from which to burn
the atonement of love
forgiven threads
unraveled with a twining golden sigh

as I sleep beneath the sky
feverishly watching
as it darkens
and broods
closing my eyes and fearing
you

shall I be delivered once more
into the hands of a nightmare?

your desires
blacker than the way
angels cry
these Cimmerian, bloody tears

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