Life voyage

Shadows of ghosts, phantoms of pride
Stalk within me and live inside.
Scour synopsis of my brain
Where serendipity rules reign.

Through the abysmal I sail where
Heaven has blacked the stars of braille.
And sirens sing in constant sound
Those are the pounding raves that pound.

I am alone, within a zone
Solitary, to every bone.
And numb the skin that lays the core
Enmeshed within this web of store.

I'm haunted by the doldrums stay
That beats no drum but torpid lay.
A child lost the abyss of time
My only thread the silk of rhyme.

And I ring that bell loud and clear
To clear away the smothering fear.
The fear that ghosts each phantoms tide
That grabs my sand to reach my pride.

The shoal is there it does not hide
Nor do I fear to be a bride.

in silver light I would you cast
hold tight then on to ship's great mast
across the seas of thundrous wave
cast to you the lines to save

cause me worry, cause me fear
in light of this, I shed a tear
in silvered light I would you cast
hold tight then on to this your mast

Karilea,
If I could accept your line
Leave the boat or so incline.
Then you would be in danger too
And that I would never do. *L*

"Heaven has blacked the stars of braille."

that is one of the COOLEST lines and images I have ever read...oh man!!!

and this one ...

"My only thread the silk of rhyme."


and this whole verse......

"And I ring that bell loud and clear
To clear away the smothering fear.
The fear that ghosts each phantoms tide
That grabs my sand to reach my pride."

WAAAAAAY COOOOL ...
and those ghosts and phantoms have some
damn fine cadence as well .

Some people find subtlety in strangers
if you find anything~let me in
Your eyes~you see everything
my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know

LoveBug,
You are a love and I thank you.

Janet Marie,
Your raves make waves upon my heart
They have you know from the very start.
