Elyria, Oh *at the moment*

0 posted 2000-08-10 02:20 PM



It is when the burning light of day settles from my eyes, that I am fully alive.
I sleep through my life,
drifting endlessly on silver threads of dreams...
Waiting,
watching for the blessed darkness to rise...

For then,
I am with your shadow.

In my dreams,
I rest within the tender circle of your arms,
In the darkness your shadow and I,
dance along webs of moonlight,
as the stars tickle our toes...

It is in blessed darkness
that I am beautiful once more,
I am kissed by Mother Earth,
dressed in obsidian Velvet by Father Night.

It is your shadow that brings you to
my arms.
Alone in this world
of whispered promises,
where harsh reality is draped in a thick inky veil...

It protects my eyes from that burning
sun,
where once it rises...
melts your shadow..
and my dreams,
as I stand alone once more.

this poem is really beautiful...
reminds me of similar themes on which i have written poetry.
it has a very dreamy feel to it...as if you are floating...through it.
sincerely,

Time and space are not constant, but floating around like the inside of a giant metaphysical lava lamp

Welcome! I very much enjoyed this piece. Your words echo my own ideas. Dreams and the night are two of my favorite subjects on which to write. I am eager to read more of your work. Keep it coming!
