Aegis’s Face

To see, to feel, to know,
is like the passing of the clouds
in the blue sky above ancient world,
where faint memories locked up high
go nigh where stars do fall,
and encrypted riddles lie scattered
for discovery, for mending,
a thing which is rarely discovered,
meaning so much, yet hidden so,
and none save one knows me,
and flaming longing, till death do part,
and tears stream from stone’s face,
to know ancient love divine;
an illusion, the face bright shone,
encasting a shadow over me,
clinging at old wounds yet unknown
yet forgotten soon after,
as the warmth of the face sweeps over,
wiping dust off my face.

I liked this! It has an old world flavor, a good rhythm and wonderful imagery!

Just what I was aiming for! Old world fascinations have me in its debt often.
