(The first 3 parts here /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=82&topic=003505 iv Dreams At the end of each gray sameness She sleeps In the masters bed A rough pallet of unkempt emotion She lies In restive repose Seeking solace In dreams Where she is a princess A band of braided prayer Studded with sparkled pleas Is her diadem Once again pristine Gone, are the scars that mar Her small plague of hurts Gone Dreams In which she dances Alone in the great hall Of all that might have been Tapestried in panels Woven of wishes Dancing Through the clatter of bones Left by those That sought her deliverance Paper-white ossuary gourds Roll about, Then stare with muted mocking Through empty sockets And lipless grins Her light glide and pirouette Give way to feverish whirling And frenetic flail Dizzying herself In celebration of a freedom Merely guessed at Breathless and spent She gathers the rubble together And settles herself to sleep Into the nest of bones To drift away once more Into that same gray sameness "In looking Northward, I see a light" [This message has been edited by wranx (11-26-2003 01:54 PM).] |

wranx, This is absolutely beautiful. I'd like to earmark this one for my library. Each time I read it I saw more and more. Quite beautiful, full of imagery and promise. Sadelite |

"She lies In restive repose Seeking solace In dreams Where she is a princess A band of braided prayer Studded with sparkled pleas Is her diadem" and "Dizzying herself In celebration of a freedom Merely guessed at Breathless and spent She gathers the rubble together And settles herself to sleep Into the nest of bones To drift away once more Into that same gray sameness" Ed, as always, the further I read...the more I find myself grateful that you didn't take up bowling instead.  BTW...if you have a twin in PA, I met him. Shoulda seen the look on my face when he said he owned a bookstore.

She sleeps In the masters bed A rough pallet of unkempt emotion She lies In restive repose Seeking solace In dreams Where she is a princess A band of braided prayer Studded with sparkled pleas Is her diadem Once again pristine Gone, are the scars that mar Her small plague of hurts Gone ~*~ This kept me. The rest of it held me. |

"Paper-white ossuary gourds Roll about, Then stare with muted mocking Through empty sockets And lipless grins" (my favorite part) I don't know if you remember me, but I sure remember you. This is Sara.. (poeticgoddessofdepression) i'm back at passions now, I figured I'd check up on you and a few others before I started posting again. I loved this piece, though. It's beautiful- as are the other three. I adore your talent. Take care. |

Thanks for read friends. And Duncan? I just have one of those faces...seems I have a twin here in my area as well. Haven't met the fella, but his name is "Mike", and from all I've heard, he's not the nicest of human beings. (Now I have to worry bout maybe paying for transgressions that I've not enjoyed...hehe) Hi Sara! I certainly do remember you. Happy you're back posting, can't wait to see how your writing has grown *smile* Really, it's nice to see ya! Ed... [This message has been edited by wranx (11-27-2003 10:16 PM).] |
