You whispered to me of twilight dreams Frozen between your palms Whilst the world fell, I was yours... It is that silent The way the memories come Painted stars above me sing, Of hope, Of light. Why, oh why does the darkness bring, Destruction? Friendship is a dying rose today, Her crimson flesh all faded with the years Petals torn, stem so used. In my eyes, 'tis beautiful still, Like you were, long ago Sweetly, sweetly hear me die, Blissful, blissful; a lullaby Softer than those hands of gold Oh, how I knew you well. 'Round your finger you wound my hair Of cinnamon Promising me simple things. Forever, Or perhaps just another lie That day when you come back to me, Maybe one day Life will change But for now, I am content with remembering You and how you told me I was the sunrise But that was only because you colored me with your flaxen dye Of love Discovered by your fingers... Yet stolen with a kiss. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet" [This message has been edited by IndigoEve (07-07-2003 05:12 PM).] |

I can't highlight all the lines in this I loved. So, I'll keep it, and just say this: SUPERB! |
