in the shadows

0 posted 2008-11-30 09:50 PM





When in night you sleep,
and I do not,
when your dreams feed from memories
woven into tapestries
with threads of tarnished pride
by needles drawn of shame,
when your soul aches from dearth of joy
and yearns to weep
for all long gone
beyond landmarks traced
in scars time begot
with casual bitterness,
I watch over you.

Melancholy creeps
through the hearts of all beings
for something unknown


You always touch my heart. Beautiful!

The green silk pajamas were my sister's.

Between you, and that Virtual Earth thingie, I feel a need to clean my room.

Well, in fact, icebox, I DO weep.  Less now than before so I suppose I've progressed to the "yearn to weep" stage.  One day there will be none of that.

Your words are moving as always.

"woven into tapestries

...cool phrase

"in scars time begot
with casual bitterness"

...so deep, so pithy
