cold earth,
distant image,
I so loved you, when stars
filled the night sky and you turned me
to see

to see
without looking,
to hear without listening,
and above all, truly to feel,
to feel

It's wonderful to be "seen", Firefangled. Thanks!

Helpless
I watch my soul,
stone cold, lying on the
icy ground of sorrow. I have
no tears.
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor
no tears
refuse to cry
i must not show my grief
no, i do not share my sorrow
all mine
"Life is a long lesson in humility." - James M. Barrie
all mine

wild eyes, an evil grin
she stole his innocence but left

I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

honor
you God I will,
even without knowing,
until my death may tell me what
you are
you are
the faintest hint
of evening mauves, i stand
against the ivory sky and
wonder
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
wonder
if there exists
a divine being who
wonders 'bout me and whether i
exist

"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
- Horace

that seep across
my life, dredged in lost skies,
blanketed in tree-mossy dreams
i sleep

i sleep
next to the night's
lonely winds which, growing,
dance around my dreaming eyes: dreams
of winds
.
...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.
of winds,
colours changing;
different shades shifting,
as water's reflection on a
grey wall
"I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
sunny skies pervade my dreams
and light the dark of earthly scenes..."
