I could touch forever,
~there
endless, in those eyes-
Sift through edges jaded,
wipe clean all those cries:
Eradicate the ashes-
of each forsaken plight.

Blend stains of you inside myself,
paint stars into your void-
I'm crushing, in soft whispers,
as two parts cling, conjoined.

I'll stitch lines, of cryptic sanity-
slow, 'midst doubtful folds,
To force away all bleakness-
stand guard t'heart and soul,
Be your explicit reason-
n'steer you from that hole.

Grasp depreciation's bullets,
redirection- every one;
Face your wounded mirror-
without the loaded gun,
Temper all seemed madness-
of Aphodic sun-
Create a course, *Use it,
and bask in webs un-spun.

Invade your brood, with laughter,
save you, to save me too-
Inside mind's eye, drip rainbows,
sharp-shine to lurid moods.
Touch every tragedy
encompassed...
Pay homage, and not tell-
wrap you in a wash of me,
I'm warmed, to wear you well.



"...But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go...
~Emily Bronte

It's rare that I find myself at a loss for words, Tanya...
quote:
Pay homage, and not tell-
wrap you in a wash of me,
I'm warmed, to wear you well.


Yet your words seem to do it more and more.  *Touched I am by this beautifully rendered gush.

Just proves that not all silence is a bad thing, ya think? G's

This one is important, I am humbled that it reached you!

So much gush'n'mush
