Tonight there is  amber in my sleep
all that  is art
bares its-self upon my soul

This quiet insanity
that creeps in
and smooths over
dark mirrors

I find myself wishing the moon to
be pure white again
when it is full of wonder
upon this mire of splendor
seeking such windows
and lovers of light

their skin laced by lilacs

They must have a word for it?

a dusting of palms
when she, beneath you
holds no boundaries


cover thy eyes
when keeping her still
seeing as she does
through  her finger of

shadows


~~*~~
Read between the lines
look deep into each word
and you will understand the
depth of my soul (GE)
~~**~~

Great write.

beautiful Lauren, hmmm thinking who could it be?

Maree

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

Oh, wow. Of all your poems I've read, I can never decide which is my favorite, because every single on of them astounds me...they're all my favorites. This one is yet another beautiful piece that warms my soul. Thank you.
