So, could it be that it is me? Haft become the fire in your eyes enough love to be your hero, melt a heart, stone cold at ten below zero? Do you often wonder? Did my songs in the key of A minor transcend into the wind that blows through your mind upon cold lonely nights, such as this? Decadence that belies upon my soul will challenge my dreams of tomorrow. For even when another looks into my eyes I shall look away, as if needing to shelter the last remaining shadow, of love hidden, buried deep within me, idle it sits upon the shelf of hope And though the pages become splattered with blood as though the words may somehow replenish the light of darkness' secret mourn we know, this is never to be...don't we? For although the pages written in red will someday with time fade away, As if the occurrence was simply a thought, or a figment of one's imagination, The innermost spirit of our shadows dancing together in a time different from now, Dear one, somehow we both know forever etched upon the very existence of the soul they will never, ever...pass © 2002 Dennis Hicks 12/25/02 2:13 AM |

Sheesh! This is so outstanding, so incredibly beautiful. It surely could melt a stone cold iceberg into a whimpering puddle. I'm keeping this one, thank you. BTW, welcome to the land of poetry. |
