Transfixed

Transfixed in the lights illusion
And eyes on dreamy space,
I watched the dust like amber snow,
Descend upon her face.

Her features fixed like marble,
Lay steady, still and cold.
Emanating waves of heat,
That seared my very soul.

When the cloak of night wrap round
And truth did stalk about.
Not a sprig of peace would near,
To guide me safely out.

My tears became an ocean
My sighs became a storm.
And raged and raged within me,
I could not come to norm.

Now I am a captive ship,
Complete in her domain and
Only when I reach surcease,
Will the links of why unchain.

OK, I have read it, read it, and read it again. I still don't understand....I am going to think on it a little and respond with more later. Just wanted you to know that I passed this way.

INclan,
Hint, it's about a demise.

I see it with clarity. Exquisitely sad.

To Pen and hoot,
Thank you both for the read and comments.
They are like honey on bread.
