Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-08-11 05:00 PM

visions of a lazy dream
skim the waves
of my subconscious
gently painting stories with fingertips
spun from gold
onto my fluttering eyelids

and the heavens ask me
through my slumber
why do the stars intoxicate
the moon
sweetly stringing a melody in tune
with Poetica?

sacred world
kissed with dust
falling from the sky

lyrical and sensuous
my reveries should remain untold
but softened miseries
and only then

will the secrets show
of Poetica

a thousand odes ago
i drifted by
stained in silver
wordlessness
'til night came

prosperity

the art of blackness
in velvety winter love
is remembered
and practiced
upon the lengths of euphoria
that escape from my mouth

evening laced
mixed with the soul of a wanderer
in my blood
is a poetess
fine
and eloquent

Muse is my mother
the eve, placid sire
finding peace
being laid 'pon the bed of parchment
with pen as my lover
blessed ink
bleeding through me to inspire
each word
these words
they are my children

and we dwell in the realm
of Poetica
always

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

Parts of that were absolutely wonderful... parts were just okay. I liked it though overall-- my eyes widened and i felt a breeze in some parts.... its all dreamy and just... i love the way it makes me feel.

very nice write.

i was really impressed with your poem "exotica" and i am also really impressed with this one. i just love your style and word choice. this poem was so creative and interesting..it didnt really make me think of anything serious but it did make me think. i especially liked the metaphor of the Muse as your mother and that whole following stanza. keep posting because i will keep reading!

I thought this poem was absolutely beautiful. I think everything about this is just perfect. Your word usage...how it flowed. Everything...just beautiful. This is DEFINITELY going into my library! Beautiful write.

yay! Beautious! hehe...loved it. Good writing skills there.

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone...
