        Love, Come Anon

The battle rages within
and the night fills with endless sighs.
I have held the rose,
seen blood drip
from its silver thorns,
tasted the salt of tears
drowning in love's debris
and heard the voice of sin
ringing in my ears.
Let me drink from the waters of Lethe
and let my memories
on the winds of AElus be scattered.
Let death be my release from pain,
if love be the curse,
bringing to my ears
the whisper of her voice,
as only an echo of the past.


If a dream touches us,
it exists to us as anything
else that touches us.

Another one very well done! I love the idea and the flow through...this certainly isn't your first stop at the poetry well to draw from the words of life.....or cliched you didn't just fall off the turnip truck!

There is an enchantment in this, I can't explain it, but it seems haunting.  I enjoyed it very much.

so I never have to live without you."

so many times I had felt this...only  with his voice instead...you expressed yourself well...thank you for sharing your feelings
