On Darkened sea's I've set my sails I've searched in to the pits of hell Request a meeting from the thrown For Beauty, I have never known The ocean with her silver fist Taunts me with a crimson kiss Christened by her bloody mist Salvation she brings now Her waves bare down and curse at me Feeding more insanity Sails near gone, by winded rage Now lay upon a darkened stage As lightening strikes out from the sky thunder plays a lullaby Blowing kisses to her crimson tied Closer to its flash I slide As far away it seems, I am I hear a song brought by the wind It beckons from within the pit Its voice cry's out from speechless lips No ore's, or sails to set again I drift to the song by guided wind As water gushes in the cracks There is no way of turning back My tiny ship it turns and creaks Nothing left for me to keep Pictures, through my mind do creep As her port turns to the sky Still I try to stay afloat Splashing in her crimson coat I feel her grab around my waist Pulling me to her cold embrace As her red wine fill's my throat Eyes wide open, as I choke I look in to her eyes and see Beauty in eternity Tori 99 --------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------I linger yet with Nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face than that of man: and in her starry shade of dim and solitary loveliness I learn'd the language of another world. Lord Byron 1788-1824 Manfred, III,iv |

Really enjoyed this one Tori, loved the imagery too ------------------ Cast your eyes on the ocean, Every man goes down to his death bearing in his hands only that which he has given away... ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |
