Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-12-28 09:27 AM


as the moon hung rapturously over spring
she sang
and she knew the song was only meant
for
finishing

deep in the ivory keys
of her piano
was a reflection
frozen like crystal blood in the veins of
musical freedom

a tapestry, a tapestry
is silence, away
severed and re-scattered to color
too-pale skin

shivering as notes break
and shard
the air

song,
in gravitating reciprocation    
lacing her with the indignities of
constant prevarication;
spring has never come

no, autumn remains like a lingerer
kissing winter too close
and smoothing hair from face
night knows,
oh, though she closes her hands
essence of moon is translucent

vernal iniquities betray
how blue her eyes can seem
when shadowed by a tattering purgatory
deep and bold

caught between
nostalgia
            past relived

and unlived days
            splintering in fingers
that try to hold paintbrush

staining her with midnight shades
o' absentina

o'ertook by the sin of paper
opting for depth of skin,
thirsty, craving color,
quite beautifully

she is the portrait of a melody
wilting by
summer

no more.



If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi
