Patchouli wafts on gentle wing Fragrance flowing with the sea A lady draped in lavender light Drifts softly with her memories. Moonlight glints off amber locks That fall among her tears Eyes cast down to Pluto’s realm Lay entombed in shadowed fear. Beauty is brushed throughout the sky But to love her heart is blind Drenched in darkness lays her soul And no forever can she find. Seraph whispers float on high As her thoughts rest with the sea For there within his watery grave Lay her cherished memories. The tide reaches to touch the face Of the lady draped in light Among the sprays she hears his voice And soon he is in sight. The image fades in moment’s time As the water’s softly churn An eternity she will cry for him And for his tender love yearn. So with a sigh she silently falls Into the darkly coated sea For there among the inky waves With her love she can be. *Krista Knutson* "Thought is real, physical is the illusion..." Albert from ~What Dreams May Come~ |

*sigh*... i knew i was in for another case of of poet envy just as soon as I saw the title... *sigh*... well, at least you are consistant...*smile* here me sits with a muse who wont write... *sigh* oh well, I'll live...  exquisite poem K, lavendeer is indeed your color... you wear it well later-lilac-gator jm There are places inside our souls ... that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts ... that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

Ooooh... I liked this one Krista! So dark with such a despairing end (in my mind that's not the answer...) I loved the line like "Lay entombed in shadowed fear." and well the word "Seraph" is just awesome. Great poem Krista!

I am going to read this again. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.

Krista*~ That was a beautiful poem. You just seem to be getting better and better. "Moonlight glints off amber locks.." that's awesome...Now what inspired you to write this poem? great job.
