 Black and White VeilsThe curtain decends And still in the end The pretense remains Of the parts you did play Standing before me On center of stage Masquerading your heart Among family and friends Shielding yourself From truth and of love Your choice was to run Leaving shadows behind Of day dreams that trail Black and white veils Then all of a sudden My mind casually drifts Entranced in the thought Of when we first kissed Lost in the haze Of feelings once craved Tears begin to subside From the song of your lullaby And like seasons that change Your memory does fade And reality sways Like autum leaves on brisk days Trickling downwards In gusts of chilled winds Left hovering bent Are fragile stark limbs As a love becomes bittersweet The innocence is stripped Now brittle to feel Left crumbling at heels Eventually resting On delicate threads Of daydreams that trail Black and White veils[This message has been edited by CocoBaci (edited 03-09-2001).] |

Coco? you touched deep here...reminded me of the pillars of Joachim and Boaz...outside of the temple...the symbolism here just blew me away, with of course, the temperate middle path as a guideline. Seemingly simple...but not very.  Love it." Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T.S. Eliot |

Your choice was to run Leaving shadows behind Of day dreams that trail Black and white veils Then all of a sudden My mind casually drifts Entranced in the thought Of when we first kissed Lost in the haze Of feelings once craved Tears begin to subside From the song of your lullaby And like seasons that change Your memory does fade ======================== this is awesome Coco ... very cool writing... love the title and the presentation of format very creative perspective to write from... the way you took us thru the cycle of emotions accented by the imagery very well done sweet poetess jm Some find subtlety in strangers some find subtlety alone Your eyes,you see everything my eyes,I see its all together now and I know. ~candlebox~ |

This reminded me of the chapel veils we wore in grade school. NOw, white was in (sign of purity and all but me, I wanted black,well, Kathleen walked in church one day with a black chapel veil and everyone turned to gasp! Soon, the church was filled with happy little 8 yr. old girls swaying back and forth singing Glory! wearing BLACK chapel veils! ha ha wanted to share that with you!Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."

The words of this piece seem to trickle down the page as if from a slow moving waterfall, could there be such a thing? |

Coco, I have a feeling there is more here than meets the eye, but what exactly I could never guess. Wonderful poem filled with mystery and emotion my friend. Always nice to see you here. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Oh my, I do know this same person you write about, I swear. This is beatiful, the words, the flow, the presentation. Very very nice. And sad, which I understand well. Sandra |

Shielding yourself From truth and of love Your choice was to run Leaving shadows behind Of day dreams that trail Black and white veils Shadows of daydreams trailing veils... Not only does this poem (and particularly this passage) touch my heart, I love the images it leaves in my mind! *S* Well done! |

Coco this is a great write! you have brought out the truth about untruth and your composition is so well done ! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
