Still occasion
To the random rush
A shiver to my soul
Like your touch
And the mere thought of you.
Still occasion
To the brush of your lips,
A casual entanglement
Like your love
And the memory of you.
Still occasion
To your voice
My name spoken softly
With heavy breath
And passion flowing, from you.
Circe
When the rose finally whithers,
And winter's icy storm has left the garden barren,
Only the thorns remain;
Encasing the heart that once bloomed so full in a prickly hell.
Praying for the sun to shine again,
Upon a soul trapped in gloom,
And shrouded in darkness,
I wait...

Very well done. I do so relate to the thorns of that rose.
Thanks again...yeah I'm feeling this one especially today
:/ yeah I am feelin it myself lately...
Cold in the earth—and the deep snow piled above thee,
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains, on that northern shore,
Resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover
That noble heart for ever, ever more?
Cold in the earth, and fifteen wild Decembers
From those brown hills have melted into spring:
Faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers
After such years of change and suffering!
Sweet Love of youth, forgive if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along:
Sterner desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!
No later light has lightened up my heaven;
No second morn has ever shone for me:
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.
But when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy,
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy;
Then did I check the tears of useless passion,
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.
And even yet I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in Memory's rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again?

spoken as if you knew my heart... beautiful
Thank you Bella...
Love is as fragile as the heart it breaks.
Like the wallflower across the room;
It can whither rather than bloom,
When fearful of knowing what it takes.
Its' shattered spell can wound,
leaving memories,
Embeded like shrapnal;
In the heart and mind.

Silver eyes, shimmering sadness,
I've seen you;
Felt you peering, lurking in the dark,
In the shadows;
Whispering my name.
Who are you, what are you,
Angel, devil or conscience;
I pray thee not conscience, not madness.
Silver eyes, piercing through the darkness,
My darkness, my soul;
Leave me not cold and tattered,
Bleeding, heart shredded.
Instead, heal me,
Feed me and restore me.
I know you, my prince, every night your presence felt, over my shoulder;
A face in my dreams, hot breath on my neck...

I love this one. I'm enjoying your work.
Thanks...this is a moldy oldie so to speak lol
well most assuredly time to dust off the cobwebs on this one... I love it.
Bruised and torn, a soul doth weeps
And tattered is the grudge bourne;
Forever restless is she,
Never forgetting how scorned.
Aglow in Autumn moonlight,
Embracing the winds of change;
Prayers for a new beginning,
Are carried off and away.
Peace found only from within,
Precious answers that are sought;
In her heart is where they lie,
Buried deep, unconcious thought
Circe
From the delicate breeze
that brings forth the rivers soft, balmy mist
to caress ones skin,
To the harsh winter winds that chill
that very same soul:
There comes a sad acceptance,
one that I thought would never be...
The acceptance that perhaps ye
were never meant for thee.
