an Edder/Snow duet

where once was forever

there's a promise
beneath the moon
found at the altar
in your eyes
there
hope stirs
in restless sleep
and alone falls
to dreams of you

what once was
forever is...
tender whispers

grace-

        memories  

scattered on
pebbled pathways
and the ink of tears
drying
upon skin turned ash
in the fires
of your stare
bittersweet love
...an imprint
on a pillow, named
for you

by each let this be heard,
some do it with a bitter look,
some with a flattering word"

"and the ink of tears
drying"

It does seem as though tears stain, and smiles wash out!!  Everyone notices the tracks of tears but nobody can tell if you've just been smiling! hehe

Wonderful poem!

Very well done.  Those lines are my favorite.

LadySnow and Ed~
This is sheer beauty in it's entirety~

beneath the moon
found at the altar
in your eyes'

Snow, Ed told me he was having trouble with his muse, I think he was wrong! You two really do make a fantastic duet....the flow, the emotion, imagery.....bravo!!

Hope to see more of Ed, and certainly always looking forward to your writings snow (especially the ones you read out for us)
