**Welcome to my Matrix Revolutions induced depression, numero dos** I. Often, I would lie awake, just staring at her. She was so beautiful, almost radiant, amidst that deep façade of seemingly unbreakable courage. Oh, but I was the one to break her, find some way through a shell so hardened by fearless dignity. A whisper would unravel her deliberate senses, so intricate a song we sang; but a song of names it was. Encompassing the fermata of her voice with my own...so lyrically profound a notion is love. Each moment I felt her back pressed against me, I would sense the weight of a thousand prophecies amassing in my mind. Stillness flourished within us. She, couldn't linger very long, reading my needs like unwritten poetry on the paper of souls. She knew, as well as I, that every beginning must have an end. We felt, we bled together, every elusive second she traced my subconscious with an invisible finger, leading me away by a linen thread...to freedom. She was within me, as I was within her. Now though, I can faintly taste her ghost, as it murmurs me into a trinity of emotions: loneliness, love, and that art of letting go she taught me so well. Je t'aime Trinity...toujours, Neo II. He completed me. Balancing the unbalanced equations of life and death, somehow. I remember a time when we had achieved utter equilibrium in the art of deceiving inevitability. Once, I lent him my soundless breath; twice, he gave me life, drawn deep from the wells of impassioned silence. I spoke to him with my eyes, and he knew their language fluently. One word meant everything and nothing at all to us. Love, what blindness, what beautiful foolery it is, binding, with a silver chord, two souls together as one. Bond unbroken by what I'd give, what I knew I would do for him...die. To end my very being, I loved, I embodied his spirit in my own hands. He knew how to unleash a spell on my tongue, struck silent without incantation, nor curse. Of how I shed my fearlessness, and for one daring shard of eternity, I wanted, no...I needed to become vulnerable to him. My weakness, my greatest strength. Oh, forgive what destiny has given me. She knows not what she has done. But please, I beg him to cry for me only in his dreams. I need no elegy, no wavering requiem of unquenched pain. I only want him to remember how much I cherished what we shared. Je t'aime Neo,...toujours, Trinity If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi [This message has been edited by IndigoEve (11-14-2003 08:54 PM).] |

![]() (smiles) Wow, this reads like a round robin love letter reception, dearest friend, I love the way you project both points of view here as truly both had their own enticing philosophy of love to one another, even if the rest of the movie was a flop! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is marvelous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Quite good writing of our favorite cinematic couple (the reference to Trinity and Neo a dead giveaway.) Tres Bien, Mon Amie. |

Hello Indigo, your poetry is far more advanced than I would normally see in a person just fifteen...my daughter's age. Excellent write. My only advice, and it is one that I take myself...read work done by established poets, both living and dead...Pablo Neruda, Sylvia Plath, Yeats, Hafiz, Rumi, Lorca, Adrienne Rich and others. Many are available at www.poets.org and keep writing! Your talent is very promising as well as right now awesome! Sparticus |

What an incredibly complex and well done poem. I love the images you squeeze out of words like you have made the words yourself, and perhaps you have. You are a very talented young poet. I sure wish you success with this gift. |
