As I walked alone this morning I glimpsed a lonely vision A woman in black and flowers of grey She stood and spoke with her eyes And somehow touched my soul For I trembled at her terrible smile A knowing look as she opened my mind Then I listened to my heart instead She beckoned me to follow With no sound from those lips That parted only for awhile What form of madness could this be What temptress drifting before me Does my sight deceive As with a wink of an eye She vanishes into her world It takes time to catch my breath And suddenly a wind blows Bringing an ethereal frost I bow to my knees to pray For the return of my lady in black She came out of nowhere And in such a brief span of time Like some magical spell I have become transcended To a higher consciousness Though I know not who she is Only the knowledge of understanding A certain unspoken bond This dark spectre with grey flowers I rise and pace the misty fields A blind man who sees into himself I look up and behold a morning star And stop only to make a wish Stumbling over rocks in the gloom Civilization seems as if a dream Eerie world is real but dead And has somehow forgotten me With a last sigh of desperation I come upon my lady in black From nowhere again to return She is placing her flowers Upon a stone, grey upon grey Her back is to me And her stance is slightly unfamiliar The wind whips around my ears Echoing voices all in warning I should have listened to the chorus But curiosity is the root of mankind I therefore pull her by the hand White and cold as death She turns with tears streaming Down her beautiful pale face Her eyes stare deep into mine Down to the base of my soul There is no more communication Only tears as she turns to stare And I follow her gaze Upon the stone the flowers bloom A bright shade of all colors Becoming a rainbow in front of me Below them upon the stone Are words carved in memory: My name I see, and then, I finally understand… |

A blind man who sees into himself ~*~ You see well into the mists, m'friend... and since you are far and away from your time, I expect we'll see more of this genre taking form...  |

For the love everything truthful and holy, I cannot believe that you wrote such a bittersweet poem! It is emotion at its core and pain at its epicenter. Needless to say, this poem spoke to me and I loved every line. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |
