Arc

Missing image





Haunted



by your precipitous shudder

beneath my skin,


your breath

twined in my hair,


I am lost without,

within your eyes.




Memory

so acute,

it makes me kneel

in supplication,

recognition

of ethereal strength

& superb sensuality,

remaining unforgotten

within this night's fallen glance.




The ache goes deep, too deep

to mention or analyze

in quiet moments left to my own ~


inside this bitter darkness,


I hear your whisper,



knowing

you paint my dreams


with rose petals,

butterflies

& fire...

    Rose petals sip from Mother Earth
    among the embers glow
    As butterflies do dance again
    between the clouds that show

    A solemn caw is heard above
    as black now strokes the light
    And two hearts beat a single song
    in the balance of the night

    Hugs...Eddy

    WOW!!!! This one makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck . . . It speaks of loss, a deep loss that continues to echo in the deepest recesses of the heart . . . I sense an ache that cannot be appeased, no matter how hard one tries . . . Haunting, Swan, haunting . . .

    If this doesn't make someone sigh... nothing will.
