Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2004-04-08 10:27 PM



my nails, laden with unfinished words of
the forgotten
rusted the pen and i spared his sanity with the
taste of
epiphanies, golden rimmed grace

one incomprehensible secret lies on
the table between our fingers,
stirred with cream and sugar, both cups
too chipped for recognition

we dare ourselves to read languages existing within
eyes, fashion your belief
and i will heal you

linguistic stain
and all

simply, said,
survive
it's the lust that feeds skin
delicate
little
tendencies

it's the sin that damns saints,
uncolored blue and
subconsciously inked wounds
bearing resemblance deep in
nevermores like rain

it saturates.
crystal seeps under my nails,
and here we are again.

If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi

WOW!

Just Wow!

The imagery in this is fabulous.

Into my library it goes.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)
