Under blessed twilight we were born Destined to be lovers in the shadows Of alleys away from the elder's scorn We were wild creatures dancing in eternal sorrows Drown with our passions burning and hearts torn. A brilliance raged across the still secret night Hands clutching flesh teeth sinking in sweet fruit We burned candles, embers cast across dawn's first light To bloom in stolen truth, as stars of eternal youth Aligning in our paradise our burdened love took flight. We were forbidden love under their protection To be separated at all cost, volatile desire Colliding in a vacuum exploding without direction Away from stern gaze our skin soared on fire Weeping our jewels baptised in a sea of affection. Sorrow seared as terror erupted upon frozen sky Elders descended ravens ravaging our bliss We were slain, our hearts trembling to a sigh We sealed our salvation from stone in our final kiss Stars have their moment and then they die. "Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built Out of longing great wonders have been willed They're only little tears, darling, let them spill" Nick |

What a wonderful tale you tell..The desires of young lovers..indulging in passionate moments..struggling with a generation of people who say that what they do is of evil nature... Beautifully written, this poem really got a hold of my heart... You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

"to bloom in stolen truth,as stars of eternal youth Aligning in our paradise our burdened love took flight" "We sealed our salvation from stone in our final kiss Stars have their moment then die" ah this is beautiful....we all get that special moment in time..and we die...but somehow that one moment, that surreal memory...lasts throughout eternity...through words like these...and souls. (ah, just me rambling...trying to make sense of my thoughts) |
