Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-10-09 05:33 PM



Taste the essence of summer as it dies
Surreal imbalance of seasoned mischief
Wind religiously lingering
The sky's shrine of unholy martyrdom
Breaking stars upon papered dreams
'Til heaven crumbles and
Relinquishes a whisper, a hint..
Of pure autumnal gold.

Do not let the threads slip under
Fingers. Weaving, unweaving, endless
Pattern of demise.
Threads of souls, bearing marks of thyme.
Herbed abundance in soundless words
Sun is shining, silvery cold

Impassioned lips daunted by tints of Expresso
Wonder how it feels to murmur sweetly
Into the ears of Lady Muse

"Feed me with your delicacies, a yearning for
Painted eyes and knotted hair
Spilling down to waists encompassed by satin
And hands
Lacing themselves 'round rarefied svelteness  
Teaching me to carry my song like liquid glass"

So simply strange, the desperate roads
Collections of dust and thickened country air
Musty with haste,
Suffocated in aromas of Indian summer virginity
Unbroken yet by fall's guilty blush
Quiet, unyielding chill
Take the shorter path, the longer way home

Bones inept to the fluid movement I inflict
Destined to read the inscriptions of a pending
October moon
Dirty gray faces of stars cascading 'round her
Imbued by faded shades of summer
Hues awry
But soon, harvest shall relinquish its maize

Patience, sweet patience,
My sky

Autumn draws unceasingly near.



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

I would *sigh* to be as poetically "experienced" as you~

This is just another example to me of your outstanding ability~
You are one fine writer~
