where the wild flowers grow

0 posted 2003-10-27 07:21 PM


..for each flower gains the mist
of purgatory within it's walls of petal.
There swings the rope on trees that follow not,
the hanging ghost of men, weeping..

..for sins are like triumphs against false idols,
rules were made to be broken..
We would not let ourselves be commanded by
the advocate.
So speaks a voice within, they say is evil, but
I studder through demonic requiem..
This is nothing I would aquire without
the lack of judgement.

..for death, is the neccesity of life,
though denied and looked down upon as the shunned
by god.
..and here hums a hollow tree..murder..

lust not be breached and made into love, or
sacrificed by the songs of a haven in which our
souls escape..

..for a flower..each flower..
has the shapen lathe of heaven,
and the breath of hell.

Very much an amazing tapestry of words, woven so masterly.

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.

even the flower is not truth?
or is it all truth?

the flower's truth is to bloom

When I am older and greyer...perhaps I will have lost the bit of life that makes me want to write like this... but I doubt that..and I know it will not in time ever match the things I have read from you...

regardless.. I know I will never tire of reading such as this...

many regards... and great respect for your words..

Heaven and Hell defined:

..for a flower..each flower..
has the shapen lathe of heaven,
and the breath of hell.

I am always at a loss for words when I read yours..

then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you"
