I’m haunted by her
Whispered words,
Her hair, her face
She’s a shadow from
The darkness,
A lady born of mystery
With a look and
Twist of her slender wrist,
I am mesmerized
Within her soul

Can’t you hear her now?
She calls to us all
Upon a barren ledge,
Overlooking the endless sea
I am not the only one
Who has come this way
And I know that,
I am not the last
To look upon
Those colorless eyes,
And into a heart that knows not
The consequences of
Emotional greed
To satisfy the tell-tale
Signs of humanity
In decline

I, in almost all certainty,
Should have recognized
All the warnings
Before I stopped
To listen to her song
Now, finally,
I think I am in love

I've read this one over and over...
and can't say that I really get the "story".
But having read it aloud,
had to tell you how beautifully these words
are coupled together.
Simply vocally musical.
I will continue to disect this one
and get back to you.
Intriguing, to say the least.

JML~
Whimsically lovely.
My desire would be that we've all heard her song at one time or another.
You just sang it beautifully.
