A pale, and violet sky reflects an image as sunset wears a crown of porcelain fire. I'm touched by gales removed from air above me. Each moment is a fair and blue inspire. But far beyond are fields of weapons worn. Within my walls, I gather them to me- from those who reaped a harvest from the thorn and lived to hear the chime of passing sea. The eagle in me flies to meet the dove; beholding stars that entertain a breath. The woman in me falls to earth in love! How utterly I pierced devotion's test. Oh hear the words my thoughts now ascertain that I may heal the wounds and arrows flung. Forever falls down swift as autumn rain in poetry as dying songs I've sung. I write through marble, stone and still I plead through streams and banks and souls that dim the night- that pearls will lend to absence what I need… a solace in an alabaster light. |

When I saw the name Shallot, I thought of onions. But when I read your poem, it was precious pearls that were draped before my eyes. An excellent poem! "I write through marble, stone and still I plead through streams and banks and souls that dim the night- that pearls will lend to absence what I need… a solace in an alabaster light." |
