There was a time when I kept ink with me, and quills, in a small leather pouch. I would walk along the shorelines of never, watching as a sunset stained itself with miracles. At times, when the tides were too low, or the ocean too deep, I wrote sonnets for a man I hardly knew, my skin absorbing words, more like enigmas than anything. Of course, there is no expanse of understanding for why I did this. One does not question the artist, and what reasons compel them to mix black and white, somehow creating the phenomenon of blue. No, I preferred unpainted dreams, crudely cast, in an adulterated world. These are indelicate to the touch, and blush at twilight in shame, for there is but little beauty lurking within cruelty. You must have the eyes of an artist to see what I have seen. Sometimes, when night lasted on my fingers, I could taste destiny in the beads of smoke, falling and lost to the bend of an arm. Precision exists somewhere, I could feel it, all wrapped 'tween the incense Elysium yields: a dream world. Once, a very long time ago, before I knew even to forge ink from the blackness tears were made from, there was day, and there was the hour of a white silver sun. I worshipped argentine. She made me immortally sound by her law of unquenchable gravity. An addiction so incurable was mine, that evening fabricated its preciously strewn and demurely unspeakable lie, around a notion of false forgiveness. From my obsession it took its lust of morning, and asked me, beautiful, isn't it, the way you break? And there was a time when I kept ink with me, and quills, in a small leather pouch... it was then that I found the answer to the question I never sought. 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 (11-25-2003 08:01 PM).] |

Very poignant. I take paper and pen with me when I go to bed, it is always in the night when, just as I awake I get poetic thoughts. Lovely read. Maggie |

This is just awesome! For your young age you have an immense amount of talent! "I am the hobbyhorse. I am the stapler in the mud, the toad in your brain. I am a head full of birds, a future full of apples." |
