Unending Wend
~~~

Hiking through a woodland glen
as mellow shards
of sunset bend
to capture
bright
in waters clear
reflections
caught
from mountains shear
The silhouette sings twilight's best
enchanting
beauty
north by west
'Twas then my heart
forgot to beat
while visions to my gaze
complete
A gentle sigh
resets its rhythm
I step toward this face from heaven
~
In twilight's eerie haze she stood
amongst the tranquil shades of wood
where timeless paths
bestow the land
she beckons
with extended hand
Surroundings
waver
hardly seen
I spring a trap
laid there
between
then falling deep
to darkest dread
above ...
the trap
once more is spread
~
I Tumble blind through timeless mist
as things unseen
tear clothes to bits
Attesting shrieks
bare blackest dreams
when fingers
grab
they choke the screams
I'm lifted
tossed
to brink of ledge
I scramble
safe
aback from edge

Breath wheezed ...

lungs filled ...

sanguine air

but shadows dance
to flame's despair
~
Perusing cavern round about
entwined with scents
of mash and stout
The shadows fade
as faces bare
their eyes unblinking
strangely stare
Just who they be I have no clue
in cloaks of rag
bereft of shoe
A boiling pot
spills overflows
aroma wafts
so pulls my nose
~
As grumbles strike beneath my chest
a bowl they pass
I say my blest
The taste is odd
but strangely
good
then laughs
coalesce
beneath their hood
It strikes me now this tale I'm told
now echoed back
from memories cold
Beware
the pit
from beauty set
where mortal foot
trods
with regret
~
I sense
the danger lurking near
too late
I'm thrust
through worlds of cheer
around about
with no control
immersed in love
then stripped of soul
Tears of pleasure
tears of pain
around about
and back again
Conscience whirling
twisting vain
Blackness ...
lifting ...
drenched with rain
~
Hiking through a woodland glen
as mellow shards
of sunset bend
to capture
bright
in waters clear
reflections
caught
from mountains shear
The silhouette sings twilight's best
enchanting
beauty
north by west
'Twas then my heart
forgot to beat
as visions through my haze
complete
A pondered thought
sends senses reeling

'tis déjà vu ...

I've got this feeling
~~~

Wonderfully written.  I really liked the line "Hiking through a woodland glen
as mellow shards
of sunset bend
to capture
bright
in waters clear
reflections
caught
from mountains shear".   It created the image in my mind.

believe in what your heart feels...

I have missed reading your poetic thoughts ... and now I know where you've been ....... traipsing through a glen of sheer beauty, plucking word-thoughts for this bouquet~

Powerfully compelling my friend~

Rex; I've missed you here, but you've returned and taken my breath away with this incredibly beautiful poem! Pure delight...I was entranced! Ellie
