in filigrees of solitude a smithy anvil sounds
the leaden waves of amplitude exceeding nature’s bounds
like tsunami folds in eventide crashing o’er pallid coasts
washing thoughts to override safety’s sullen boasts

stillness shattered, like kaleidoscopic glass
as Thor-like thund’ring threatens solaced peace
and emissaries of quietude finally release
the embers of a drown-ed shore’s impasse

the softest hush of tranquility’s certain dove-bled cry
o’ershadows anvilled sounds that bleed our souls to dry

Steavenr -- this was brilliant -- I especially liked the line, "as Thor-like thund’ring threatens solaced peace" -- most effective!!

Wow, reminded me of the heartbeat
of a sad heart

Just clammoring away, waiting
for a lost love...


Terrific Steaven!

I just pottering around, at work..browsing and then...BLAM!  This blew me away.  I thoroughly enjoyed this piece it was excellent.  You completely mangled up my thought track, but hey it was well worth it.
