when you wake in your azure morning will your eyes dare to recognize skin draped reckless over bones and the back of my matchstick armor will your songs be sun dried music that are echos heard underwater where I am the grinder of stones for neptune in his gaudy oredom will your eyes be the seeping dawn that warms the wallowed womb where I was buried in the last time by a woman's wanton without fantasy will your whispers be my salvation licked from a saliva's spitting cross left on some stranger's storefronts by the hunter of a healed boredom in the valley of cricket kneed pines _______________ daark |

Given the title and then this line "in the valley of cricket kneed pines" put some very dark imagery into my head... Not everyone has your way with winding the necks of lexis but you do make us think... yes you do. Thank you for that. |

Well, we have the sun here. She is peeking out from behind some clouds blushing rosy as I read this and say, "ah Dark! You've done it once again". Good morning, Sir. Sandra |

Nicely done Daark. Today the sun is shining golden amber hues against a beautiful blue sky, it started rather dreary but has evolved into gorgeous skies... hope the day has gotten brighter there for you D. |

Very strong poetic presentation "will your eyes be the seeping dawn that warms the wallowed womb where I was buried in the last time by a woman's wanton without fantasy" My favorite stanza |
