How can I capture
the summit in your eyes?
Let it rain fragile faces
breaking slow and fast against the rock.

Anchor here and whisper prayers,
sign & symbols,
souls are free...
The standing pines,
soaking down,
from the sky's hard hands.

Wash the stain of life from these tormented eyes,
let them burn no more in light of sun.
I can taste the lightning stones.
They form a zero,
then a one.

Hide within,
like butterflies swallowed whole.
Fly,

fill your wings
with sweet water...
Do not drown so near the sun.
Be my clouds for storm's daughter.
Sing thunderstorms
beneath heaven's branches.

Sing lullabyes
with the tenderness
of your lips...
Though they seem today
as shattered as a rose quartz bloom.

Crystal pieces
suspended
in time, caught
like diamonds
on the horizon.
They cut the dark glass of the sky.
Bisecting white
vines of light.

Ivory columns keeping watch
over towns & everywhere
the rain fell down...
We found a place at earth's roots
to dig a grave for what we found ...

O'er mountain tops & all around,
upon this kiss, the rain fell down...
And from the frosty peaks,
a mirror's silhouette
silhouetting knives,

the sun upon their blades,
and upon our shoulders.
Twin peaks,
separate yet together.

Twins joined apart...
And I will ask you, just once more.
Once more, rain.
Hold my heart.

Hello everyone, it's been a while, I know. I had some issues with my PC and the net, but everything seems to be fine now.

I hope you enjoy this endeavor by Mikey and myself. We really enjoyed writing it together...

She's being so modest. Tiersdin, this poem rocks mountains! (and I wrote half of it?!?!?!)

Fantastic!

Two poets are better than one, and it shows.
One of the best I have read here for sure.

I can detect the individual styles I think although they are both simular.

Nothing more majestic than mountains, this piece makes me want to climb again.

Great work guys,

Glad to see that you (singly and otherwise) are back at it. Also glad to see the rain and stones of wellbeing.
