IN THE MIST SHE WAS STANDING Seven milestones... Under a watching autumn eye Contorted trees are spreading forth The message of the wind With frozen hands I rode with the stars With anger the wind blew Giving wings to my stallion Clouds gathered across the moon Blazing, the white light Passing the lake I know so well I am near, yet so far away Arrival... I saw her shadow (standing) in the darkness Awaiting me like the night Awaits the day Standing silent smiling at my presence A black candle holds the only light Darkness encloses And the candles seem to expire In her cold, cold hand And as a forlorn soul It will fade away Touching her flesh in the night My blood froze froze forever Embraced before the dawn A kiss brought total eclipse And she spoke Once and forever I am so cold In mist enrobed the twilight She was standing... |

Sigh.... man you HAVE to get published!! I am entirely taken with your poetry!! This poem has the same atmosphere as Tennyson's description of the lady of the lake,but this is even more interesting because she is surrounded by night,truely breath taking... samantha much madness is divinest sense,and much sense the starkest madness~Emily Dickinson |

Excellent work, as usual, Lethe, it's good to see you posting again. I thought that this was one of the others brought back into view. Wish I'd noticed it sooner... *smiles* ~Tier |
