In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2004-08-31 01:59 PM

In the long months, fires dance in Xanadu
a burning arch of pain
the greater unseen
stillness in midwinter mornings
          its sweet voice
strides across tears
in a sea of night
seasons rise and fall
witness to the silent war

let me bleed with you
beneath the trees --  naked in their sleeping

Such beauty that speaks so softly
weeping with passion under stars
I sleep cradled in my own arms of sorrow

orchids grow

roses with thorns

between the two is the void
the other vision is  sky
dark with desire

{fragrance of some familiar morning,
motion of breathing,
the shape of old waves}

if wind had knowledge of edges
my dreams could  walk

over dark arches and cold stone

this world is not
quiet tonight

every breath    every movement
will sink beneath the scarlet waves
their fate to keep
cast into stillness
inward press of space

It's midnight, it always
feels like midnight,
it crawls deep inside
twisting my emotions

I trace the blue trickle of tears
with lonely fingers
weaving the black from eye to mouth
I wanted to enter that world
that place  above s p r e a d i n g s k y
to look down and over the lights of  city

in shades of hollow
along the  gray   there is  no color-
-no color left
my dreams     underwater
between horizons -

The wind is colder tonight
filling the air     with it's harsh reminders
of how long

winter will be

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

oh dear Lord L~ This breathes of an unending ache....
your words are like petals that fall softly upon our ears....
floating with only the grace that you can bestow upon us....

I have missed you dear sister of my heart....

Sometimes, I do not have the words to do your writing justice...
this is one of those times...

gawd.........

Begging the sun,
for a spring thaw
unlike any other.

Summer will be splendid, still.

I love.

If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi
