The Gate


vi
As the myriad pilgrim paths
Converge with each other
Like the braiding of a rope

The destination becomes
Clearer

No longer
Just a dark regularity
Blanketed in the haze of dawn

The sun rises
And burns the veil away
To reveal the great gate
Of a lonely outpost

Looming
In its weighty welcome

Thoughts of adventure play
About her eyes
And her dark compel
Plays coy
At the corners of her mouth

With the prospect of passing
Through into something
New

To once again
Stroll among a populace

Perchance to find an angel
Less grievous

Or just a man
That wouldn’t look too deeply

If only for awhile



"In looking Northward, I see a light"

i loved the write. i hope she finds what she's looking for. hopefully an angel because those are forever, like your talent appears to be.

ohhh a devilish woman this is Ed . . .
her sweet dreams end and she comes upon
a new place . . . unknown
plying her trade . . .
upon the innocent
*smile*
(sounds like she will meet HIM soon)

you are brilliant, my love
I cannot wait to see what happens next
