I often wake Knowing that outside my window, Eternity is falling Lifted to splendor by tiny illusions Exploding within my memory The grandest of tragedies E'er to grace this night I know slumber would give Anything, Anything to know of how we dance Graceful dream children Away In a silk laced world of fantasy Painted in display for grievance's lover A gift Of humbly broken hearts Showered down upon us all Like rain Beautifully salted rain Flavored by each tear I shed Bade me come Say my name 'Fore the morning steals any sleep from my weary soul You know I would answer... Eyes held rapt by the scarlet moon Watch As it bleeds Something Oh so close to a kindred whisper It senses my need And I am bound by the threads of regret Bitter human toil Wanting rest Craving it Until... The realm of wakelessness blends into starlight A milky elixir Much like some soothing lullaby Whilst I inhale its sweetness Nothing stirs Within me For I awake no more For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet" [This message has been edited by IndigoEve (08-14-2003 10:35 AM).] |

I liked it. It was full of passion yet so sad at the end when you said "I wake no more" Cold hands means a warm heart |

I dont know how this got lost in the depths of pip so easily. I am so taken in by your style. i could quote so many perfect lines, but i won't, i'll just add it to my library. Instant karma's gonna get you. |
