Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-07-27 10:19 AM


you will always remember me
midday dancer
with dandelion crowns woven midst my hair
flowing river of brown
long
rippling golden in the peaceful sun

tragically
I was promised to the earth
daughter
of the ever-changing skies

I knew of you
as you softly knew of me

unspoken, yet alive

as the hours broke,
and the air cried sweet, sweet sorrow
tauten
in tears
twilight came in melodies of bleeding azure

so you sang quietly
by the willows

to your tune of antiquity, I would wilt
drowning
through the waters of restlessness
stained with lullabies of soundless grief

upon my brow,
lightly
you'd kiss me into kindred sleep

flourished and unknowing
this blushing rose of yours
intrigued
by a simple harmony
fell to the hands of love

you painted me in day strokes
of sunlit transparency would we sigh
oblivious,
and I, oh I
the spinner of dreams
losing herself through misery
was found

impassioned by the moon to dance wildly in the fields
we were one then
the stars entangled in my soul
tainting me with this memory
of eyes so hazel
that I can see no more

tell me now,
my precious keeper
how you stayed so innocent
as the world fell apart
oh so slowly
around us all


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

IndigoEve-

You keep getting better and better all the time. Even though I haven't been here in a while, it did me some good to read your poetry.

Your lyrical wording and phrasing is something to be proud of. The extensive vocab is perfect for this piece, and the tone well suited. I don't blame anyone for wanting to add this to their library. It's a very memorable piece.

Keep up the writing! Your poetry continues to blossom, and will no doubt flourish throughout the approaching winter.

Once again, a magnificent piece. I would say that it is my favorite of yours, but I said that about your last poem and it just wouldn't be fair choose one over the other... so I'll just settle with saying that you're one of my favorite writers on this site. The imagery was amazing in this poem. Very beautiful write!
