The abyss is deepest, where memory would forget the rhythm, legato, the time, a slow dream of innocence sealed in the deep blue hollow of bruises, and in the matted lashes of tears, rain swells the night in long, black passages that burn for an eclipse to sink over the body, deep inside a hard autumn seems to go on, a sad, inexplicable autumn deepens into another kind of despair, and there, are learned all the terrors fear can teach, and of the deaths that inhabit me, it rains, a real cruelty bound in the silver gauze of early evening, innocence sleeps its leagues and fathoms wrecked under an old mystique in stone, more so than cedar heals these perennials of longing weigh down the limbs, lonely as the miracle of tenderness twists, where the abyss is deepest.

Yup that darn autumnal abyss has seeded in my soul many a time, and you wrote it well. Dark, deep, and delicious write. |

Lessee, what have we here... A figure chilled and huddled against the farthest wall of a damp-glistened alley. And looking up, can pick an individual raindrop from among the throng and watch it fall forever, before joining the dance. Very cool, Bg! |

"it rains, a real cruelty bound in the silver gauze of early evening," Wow. Can't say much because my favorite lines will change if I think about it again. Great write. Yes... it's a deep and painful abyss. Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
