The Shores of Alone

Haunting dreams;
you reach out
through misty blue
haze of time.
My arms and heart
are open wide.
I reach for you
through golden promises,
holding tight.
Still
dawn breaks
and you dissolve
with the light.
Only memories of love
proven false,
in my sight.
Shall I wrap myself
in blue-red time?
Can I keep you close?
Will it help to deny?
If only day
would leave me alone
with the night...

Oh, my.. wow.  Such passion! Strange how we long for the night and the promises found there.  Good job, here.

Night always brings memories and dreams, questions and answers.

An ebony curtain,
Night falls.
My hand reaches out,
Slips deeper into a shadow of a shadow.
Whispers of whispers,
Swirl about my ears.
Faint scents cascade in my memory,
Waterfalls of tears.
The thumping of a ghostly drum,
Heart be still.
With closed eyes,
I see clearly,
With secrets revealed,
Deep inside the shadow of shadows
< !signature-->

Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox

~"Shall I wrap myself
in blue-red time?",....loving your use of words S. I just wish it didn't hurt so much, although you have been busting out some kick ass poetry.   . No sa,...I'd take it away in a heartbeat if I could. Wishing you *Peace.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Sandra...this is wonderful wonderful writing...

I reach for you
through golden promises,
holding tight.
Still
dawn breaks
and you dissolve
with the light.

Love this in particular...

Hugs...

Like a human without illusions...
This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care.

If you can feel that staying human is worthwhile, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.
