Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-08-01 11:23 PM


sipping from a lily blossom
the dew
of crystal ginger flow'rs
she reminisces
of purple jasmine tea

efflorescence
surrounds her
in these fields of life

where the sky longs
to blend its blue with blackness
a soft mixture
that butterflies seek refuge in
resting their silken wings

is where she lies

as whispers of twilight begin to flourish
o'er the lavender dreams of mercy
daylights keeper
she will remain unharmed

innocently worshipping the swaying trees
blessing them with invisible kisses
blown in the wind as the wishes of
a fraying dandelion
nature pauses to witness its dance

the grass is stirred with disbelief
as murmurs
circulate
the heavens told the air
who mentioned to the leaves

secrets
of she
who dwells with the earth

betrayed, betrayed
innocence deluding what lies 'neath
silvery, sapphire eyes

her soul is tainted,
her soul is weak
she is Immortal,
and yet
stained with human flaws

a faultless sinner to live among them
she still weaves tiaras
of wildflowers sweet
to place amid her auburn hair

and so the gardens whisper,
how could this ever be?

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