Melancoly, metallic butterflies dancing
on the windows of eternity
forgotton from the minds of men
as father time laughs at his
own blindness
in a well padded cell
in the heart of destiny
as tears stream from empty sockets
down Death's solem brow
cowebs collect on empty, rotting buildings
as a fallen star is dipped in propane
and caught ablaze to
feel the pain of his fallen dark glory
sun rises to an alien sky
as unhuman voices
join in silent chorus
the infant shall lie with the savage beast
when the dying goat bows his knee
to the searing power
of the blood stained lamb.

perhaps you are envisioning the darkness of eternity?

You've spilled the ink of deep poetic think~

I prefer the "Light"er version of Eternity, but I can certainly appreciate your ability to portray the "Dark"er version.

Peace, Love, & Light,

wow...I think I will mark this as my favorite of yours. This was incredible. Really, more than I can even voice. I sat here swearing you read Revelations LOL and then you confirmed it.

Keep it up...maybe read Song of Solomon or something LOL Or David dancing in the streets...sheesh, just don't read Job! ;-)~
