Ascendance

As I stood in the shadows, my eyes looking on in dread.
She came from out the forest mists, before me bowed her head.
Where shining in the darkness, who would doubt the clarity?
Ah, but then who could understand the pain inside of me?

I am the frozen image; I’m the eidolon of Hope—
The prayer of the clairvoyant and self-afflicted myope.
She stared at me through the haze of those eyes, succumbed to lust.
Then cursed me exoculation for not betraying my trust.

Extenuating before me, as carnivores took flight,
A soul withering, bound to never see me in the light.
Wolves of the wilderness stalking, inferred necessity!
Answered my wish for silence—came to end her misery.

Surrender I have witnessed, penetration of her being.
Jasmine and rose before me I’m still accused of not seeing.
She rises from the ashes before this totem of stone,
A smile touching silent lips, she loves no more alone.

And so, being young and dipt in folly
I fell in love with melancholy,
But dreams - of those who dream as I,
Aspiringly, are damned, and die:

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

Yow, that's good Michael.
I can't even say anything...My fingers are dumbfounded. I've been looking at the work for 15 minutes and still can only say Yow.

"But it is inevitable that they will keep changing the doors on you," he said, "because that is what they are for; and the thing is to get used to itand not let it unsettle the mind. But that would mean not jumping, and you can't. Nobody can not jump. There will be no not-jumping. Among rats, perhaps, but among people, never."

I often wonder where you draw your inspiration, Michael. You definately shine in darkness.
