Rusted gloom, boards echo footsteps ahead, warning of my approach, you are inside here somewhere? Scent hijacks my nostrils suddenly, impudent. Furniture strewn on dust smothered floorboards, footprints picked out by moonlight, shining through cracked, grimed windows, lead langourous trails through cavernous rooms, feet sweet, dainty, spiders creep toe prints, probing. Gloaming surrounding me, reliant on my senses, seeking you. Then a glow, dim down corridors, my mind facsimile, brings me at last to you. Creaking door swings, disenthralling light out. Sitting clad as night skies dead in winter silence. Pale, scarlet lips painted rigid, eyes shadows, lidded top dreamed ice blue. Hair sable sleek, cataracting, spilling across anaemic bare skin. Arms open for me,my trail ends within your enfolded embrace, gathering my cold face, to your warm breasts for eternity. Desire for nothing except desirelessness,hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes, want nothing and you will have everything.avatar Meher Baba. |

A sad song, Phil... made me look into the archives to find some meaning... Thank you, for this. |

So sad Phil, but in this poem I see the hope and promise of the trail ending in a comfortable and safe place. Hugs to you for this one. |

What color of pale does a shadow cast? How loud are the sounds of a distant sigh? ~sigh~ hearing a sad melody in this, wishing you a choirful of meadowlarks |

You write equally well of both the dark and the Light. May sunshine (and the warmth of a good woman  ) cast away all brooding shadows. "Arms open for me,my trail ends within your enfolded embrace, gathering my cold face, to your warm breasts for eternity."  Linda |

Would that shadow be Passing? Sorry I read the poem wrong before...now I get the title! ~ARH  "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away." |
