Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-08-30 12:58 PM



conscious of lengthening
sickly pale
moon beams
stretching 'cross my night-stained skin

feverish palms
soaking in sweat saturation
from bleeding forehead
restlessness
yielding discreet penetration
into the world of a dream

shallow and cold
are my illusions
daughter
made of mooncolored silk
limbs lissome like a butterfly's wing

but I break too easily

expensive porcelain face
china doll
fingers laced with cool shadows
awaiting,
anticipating
sleep

though I ne'er allow it

vehement with invidia
how my precious star child can idealize
boundlessly

and I am compassed by mortality

he is pure immortal

but so am I, deep within my soul
yet I will never know


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