Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-10-18 05:15 PM



'neath the throes of Babylon's weeping
far 'cross where the wisteria twines
and weaves around my throat
fingers of sweetened green

oh, unknowing suicide
of a nation..

it looms.

pausing with a quiet breath
to saturate and flavor
heaven

all those little pieces of you
falling through my soul as rain

vainglory of the sun
moon-colored eyes and
bottled stars
color me
silver

bleed me thoroughly,
as the ink fades from black
to an indigo hue
tears on shadowed roses
spill forth
and you

you who chronically tastes of silver
stains my delicate skin
with invisible sighs of wind
drawing
pencil lines
acquitted of an artist's hand

their sin
is unmentionable

scents to linger on my own fingers
why these roses,
like fragrant ghosts of..
a silvery song

I inhale

there is silence in
argentine

seeping under a silver sky
morning never wakens

she is forged
into another dream
a sweet, sweet death by silver lies


For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

VERY good for being a 15 year old's work. Personally when I was 15 my work was horrible and not matured at all. This one was awesome, and the title is really catchy

Wow!! Now what was I going to say... oh yeah, wow!! I've only seen this style (if you will) of writing twice now. It's all rare to me so enjoy this gift that you have and i will continue to enjoy your writings; I'm just so amazed.
