Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-07-03 11:07 AM


Breath is crystallized in tranquility-
Marred,
Imperfect.
Hazy perceptions dipped in milky lullabies.

She stirs

Sweetness dreaming of eyes so blue,
Her own.
The icy edge of cerulean permeated by
Teardrops,
Lit in glacial fear.

Found sleeping in this cove of darkness,
Little one..
Cheeks painted delicately in a blush
From her restless slumber.
Oh, keep thinking in reveries from afar!

Shivering, lost;
The world has ne'er seemed so black.

With lips like a crimson flow'r,
Chilled to flawlessness amidst raging dreams,
She wakes.

Wrapped in silken silence,
Oh so vigilant,
One resonant note fills the air.

Still rapt by fantasy, she listens as
A haunting melody plays in her head-
Or is it the earth,
The starless heavens
Giving way to this silvery grace?

How the quiet still echoes whilst antiquity
Is woven into music!
It intrigues her fragile mind.

She follows

The archaic strains of Greensleeves are fashioned into
A whispered etude,

Food for the wandering soul.

So faintly heard now,
Nearly synonymous to a butterfly's beating heart,
Whilst it fades...

Stillness reigns,

And she is lulled into her wakeless dreaming once again.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

This is a beautiful poem. I love your writing. The imagery was great. I'm adding this to my library. Hope you have a spiffy day!
