There you are, within sounds of chilly shamelessness
Night is foolish, with reserve and lament
Crawling on its stomach
Blowing awake…blazing white like millions of dogwoods
Time pouting its ridged charisma in my company

Fear turning to a face of fascination, a windowed awe
This laced economical structure of underground cable
Woven into a finery of silken broadcloth
Begetting mythological groves on a November-like night

Candelabras lifting off the table of darkness
Lethargically, measuring rich servants of velocity
Dappling a velveteen universe, with glittering azaleas
Silent as fish, cantering/multiplying throughout the sky
Becoming a collegial associate, with loins of a Bahamian quasi

Solitary confinement, a perpetual activist singing
Innocently advances through the window to the world
Revealing and tracing a gregarious significance
Hooded with brocaded silence, whitewashing hieroglyphics
Flickering interior strength into a life of serenity

I foraged by accident, the night creature of darkness
Embracing me like a priest, bringing forth a bullion of chicken soup
Discovery slipped through the door of shackles
Changing the secret of a soul, turned inward to

Sonorous prayers, cupping my grossly youthful chin
Smiling with fond compassion, like a parent…
A fraternal connection to the light now starring down
Approving the rain of blood I lay face down in, stinging my face
But I had enough faith, to sustain my swim through rising waters
Freestyle became me, like an Olympic vocation

Gathering all cataclysmic howls, now diminishing gases
Torching all nauseating malice, which every tree it novas
Like a disease with intent to kill
If one is not sensitive to the loyalty of middle earth
And how gracefully it flexes the muscles of childbirth
It will spin the clip of a game called Russian Roulette

I no longer fear the darkness…or the chill of night
What I fear most is…loosing the sanity of its graphics
Where the quiet structure of pillars have snowed
A white brazier cleavage, generous to my needs
Dinner for one has a significant tide of quietude
And the seclusion is soothing like a great king
Who tends to his peoples needs…
Sitting face to face amidst a roundtable of thieves
Who knew no better…for
One fails to notice, what one never has known

I'm left speechless...

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

To be quite honest with you, Dear Poetess, I find writing replies to your illustrious and expansive writes, to be the most difficult! I'm like Ceinwyn ~ "speechless"!

Love & Light,

Linda

With a lifetime of study, I still can't say yea or nay to what is. For I truly do not know what is.
