I’ve fallen asleep atop the mist of security’s breath,
indifferently dreaming of the mayhem unbridled below,
of which I’ve no longer been apprehensive
since of the muffling of your grasp...

the lightning reaches...your hand defends;
the thunder sneers...your comprehension intensifies...
the vagueness distorts...your eyes interpret the clues;
the moon hides...your electricity repositions the clouds...

I’ve plunged into reverie amidst the threats on my well-being,
blithely smiling into the eyes of curses unleashed about,
to which I’ve given no consideration
because of the deafening of your unspoken assurance...

simplicity eludes me...your voice soothes me;
the lack of composure unnerves me...your gaze calms me...
certainty sidesteps my aim...your guarantee reinstates my faith;
the forthcoming remains a mystery...your expertise unravels its fibers...

-kh 06/18/01

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

DOES HE HAVE A BROTHER????????????
I need some inspiration like this.....
very cool write SP...ethereal and elemental imagery combined with the employ of the comparisons of nature and the emotions.
this is quite a declaration.
Well done poetess blizzard booty
