I watch you climb above my eyes you are variegation colors of beryl blue and cobalt you hover at my mouth smile as evening star vesper you are sapphire and ultramarine I listen to the sounds of you moan sigh fabric rubbing wind I am monks cloth under doeskin you are wandering moon cashmere mistress of melancholy in vapor weft coquette of heaven some shelley has versed butterfly with thigh wings winded on sheets of indigo silked with white fire you are the dresden color, the isamine crepe de chine in governess of flood dance we laugh loud together quietly the tweed of your fingers stirs my steeping my hollow man is dampened to viscid humidity I am moorland on mountains of tomorrow like sheets of silk covered rorulent with slick you are blot paper inkless waiting to parch a huntress of the silver bow in watery recline I am animal skin shivering slight moments whisper in morning we will seep between ourselves we are as glass eye songs then ....... ©Dark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (06-19-2002 11:03 AM).] |

DS...very awesome! Reading this was a bit like drowning and flying at the same time. I think I must be on sensory overload. |

sheets of indigo silked with white fire.. Now there's a line I can get my mind around. *weg* As always, D... with your belletristic talent for inveigling you could even make the alphabet a sonnet of seduction. *wink* Indigo |

Dark, Every time I read one of your works,I am stunned. Most compelling imagery, you seem able to impose your will upon the language, your obvious command of a most impressive vocabulary is not a tool that I own. I envy few, you have made a very short list. Thank you for this work. ~wranx "Writing is a perfectly natural thing to do....just remember to wash your hands afterward"....Heinlein. |
