Limbo’s cold storage,
shuttered shudderings
in a mirrored jar
of thickening glass

Voices muffle,
their emotions obscure oaths
smothered in the pulse
of twin temples,
the moss of thought

Light, illusory and rare,
reveals no source,
the hemline of its treks
beyond reach

Printless feet
leave no worn path
to or fro

Seeing jeweled eyes,
knowing them hard as diamonds

Trust not what is whispered,
the crimeless rhymes,
the rhymeless crimes

It is such a pleasure
to read the jewels of you
once again...

Welcome home, Richard...

It is such a pleasure to read you once more Sir.
Indeed...welcome back!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

This is most definately a jewel,
to be treasured.
Welcome home dear sir.

I refuse to make plans past this moment in time....

RSW~
Your title drew me in ... and I really appreciated this -

'the moss of thought'

Nice to read you~

well, right now, I only want the cookie jar
LOL
not a dark jar that resembles Pandora's box
or any other confined vessel
but I'll be back again later to read this
and then probably laugh at my ludicrous reply

Summer heat and forced confinement can get to us all, but not on such a deep level Richard.

These lines were awesome by the way,

Seeing jeweled eyes,
knowing them hard as diamonds

and these,

Light, illusory and rare,
reveals no source,
the hemline of its treks
beyond reach

Stay well.  This heat too will pass.  Nice to read you again.

I came back to say,
this one actually blew me away
on the third reading
or maybe the fourth
I saw the light
and it was not pleasant,
the beam over the towers
searching for lost souls

anyway, just wanted you to know
I read this one several times,
not unusual for a Wells
