Lost in a dream. (Please don't wake!)

She Stands Waiting

In the moonless dark of the night
She stands, waiting for me
With skin pale and cold as snow
And black sorrowful eyes, as deep as the sea

The moves with the breathless wind
Rustling leaves and combing grass
With slender fingers she taps the lake’s surface
Causing ripples on ebon glass

Slowly her gaze rises to meet mine
An emotionless face with flawless skin
Pale rose lips press firmly together
Black eyes betray a winter within

She stands motionless, shrouded in black folds
Until her fingers slowly rise
My icy breath catches in my throat
And silently I close my eyes

Icy fingers brush against my eyelids
And cold lips against my trembling cheek
My knees buckling beneath me
And I fall to the ground, helplessly weak

I exhale my last breath, my last bit of warmth
And drift into an endless rest
In the moonless dark of the night
She stood waiting for me;
Death

((Hey ya'll...anyone remember me? I was told my Kielo that people actually MISSED me. *is still rather surprised* You people have no clue how good that made me feel. So, if ya'll won't ban me for abandoning you, I'm gonna come back. [There was, btw, a reason I left. But anyways.] SO-O, anyhow, to sum it all up, I'm back.))

welcome back from wherever you've been. What a stunning poem to return with.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

*hugz* Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be back.

True friends are not those who are with you at the end, but those who helped you through the journey.

Welcome home.  Of course you were missed...our rooms are ever widening, and we need more just like you to fill them, and to welcome others...

Thank you, for making me feel so wanted here. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...a sign of true happiness.

Do what you want and say what you feel. Those who matter won't mind and those who mind don't matter. (Forget who said that...must find their name.)

Now, why can't everyone around me be like you, huh? :P
