He found my secrets in shallow grave beneath her bloodied paged thoughts intermittent with adulation they smelled of wild flowers and rain water fragile upon his palm, he cursed low in his throat deep regret She shaded him from eyes as his own hungered averment below lilting lines daisied with smiles upon each, tiers disguised as dew but no less sweet trickling over fingers raised to lips tasting the way of broken hearts His hands grew weak beneath the weight of emotion, praying their bitter-sweet melody would end yet on it played until his own eyes could bay no more, oceans Sun peaked through her leaves hoping expose with accusing rays but she canopied over him, brushing light his cheek aided of wind who knew all but was loathe to whisk from his hands everything true On he read of another and came to know stroke of death for what was perfect withered to ash upon forgiving palms peices fell one by one each more painful than precedent for he remembered his heart too once betrayed They would marry silence, the two of them, travel roads dusty or paved together ever hesitant She rustled her leaves then a reminder midnight begged and somewhere arms were empty carefully, he returned my secrets to their resting place unconsciously burying them far deeper then before or so he hoped... ~tier |

God, you are brilliant! They would marry silence, the two of them, travel roads dusty or paved together ever hesitant I would love to have a print of THAT exactly, gold framed of the willow on a dusty country road with those sad eyes sitting beneath her, both of them finding life within the other. Beautiful, Tier |

Sun peaked through her leaves hoping expose with accusing rays but she canopied over him, brushing light his cheek aided of wind who knew all but was loathe to whisk from his hands everything true because...truth hurts, and she would never allow even that...as much as it may be deserved... you spoke in layers, and on planes... several of them... thank you, Tier... |
