This song plays on
like a series of bells.
The Sunday air rent
by motions of air.
Big heavy shapes
colliding with waves.
This song plays on
like a series of bells.

In a series of churches
condemned on the street.
A series of pews
collect brightened waves
of sounds from the summer
pressing to panes
in iron-dark tones
and road weary sun.

Staining the glass
the color of wait.
It's a color without
presence or need.
A color that turns
the tongues of the sun
to the snow of the moon
and the seat of the sea.

This song plays on
like a series of bells.
The Sunday night rent
by motions of air.
Light silver moon
reflects on the beach.
We drink to this song
as it plays on.

I know it's over.
The Smiths

Heh heh. Glad you enjoy the poem and the pic. The poem came to me after hearing "Just Like Heaven" by the Cure on the radio -- a song that holds special meaning.

And the picture was too strange not to share.

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michael, thank you for sharing!

=======================

and I could eat your poetry with a spoon.
this ROCKS...the imagery is soooooooo cool.

Where the touch of lovers end and the soul of friends begin,
there's a need to be separate and a need to be one ...
it's struggle neither wins.

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Glad you enjoyed this view, Janet.

Ceinwyn, nonsense. We all have our place. And if you ever feel like you're taking yourself to seriously, find a really stupid photo of yourself and make it your pip image.
