There was silk on the floor
that strawberry, red flower
that unearthed from the bottom of the floor
onto a small sacred heart
that she wrote letters for
when her dearest pen went still

Her small waist
had a wrinkle that started
from the top
and moved all the way down to her knees

I remember darkness was under a bridge that night
where a harness fell from atop the two story building
like the shadow of ones figure
standing against an oval shaped window

You had your hands
where the woods
came through the night
like the shelves of life
that seemed to close upon you at the wake of light

I remember those nights
tears beckoning the wind
as the sun rinsed you of your fair, suede skin

You saw the fields before they rose
above the tender lakes
of where you use to flash that smile
decadent with your hands towards the sky,
you were once alive.

A very evocative poem, but I enjoy the imagery; the picture your words have painted here, the most.

This (probably just me) reads very darkly, and it touches on feelings and imagery that I'd rather not entertain in my head.  That may sound bad, but it's not - its a testament to how well written it is.

Nocturnal,

I appreciate the support...evocative is a good way to sum up the piece.  

Cheers
