Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-05-10 10:35 PM


Ah, its great to be back...


Wishing upon painted stars,
How can you tempt me
Like you do?
Cherished memory,
Stained by hues upon canvas mild...
Blotted
By this illusive paintbrush I hold...
Spreading
A multitude of faded lies;
They last no more than a century,
Reciting my verses
As I experience emotion.
Betrayal,
Defeat;
Embittered in the wake of eventide,
Breaking with the strains.
Moonlit corridors that lead to my soul:
Pathway,
Forsaken through the midst of strangers
As they walk.
Steps taken, bleeding footprints into the soil,
Weeping aloud in agony;
Too many years have they beheld.
Smoothed as daybreak sounds,
Alive with colors that the sun yields;
A kiss of morning,
A song of joy...
Shattered.
But oh!
To reach and attain the precious tears of my day,
Letting them mingle in this downfall
Of the weak;
Blues upon crimson,
All lambent in the midday light,
Striking rays of fire through my heart.
And I stare;
Seeing myself, all lucid and fine
Upon this mirror,
Placed within the ocean's keeping,
Tasting brine,
As waves lick mahogany foundation.
It is not I that is perceived,
Looking past a façade of loneliness...
There she is,
Little one;
Fair child of milky skin,
Eyes so blue...
Caught amid the changing times.
Head in her hands
She crying,
Crying...
Watching as you paint the twilight gold.
