Fade outI don't know how I got here

It's the end of the line for ghosts

and the scent of this strangeness is soothing

even though the wind will keep whispering

for a while, I'll stay and play

and the music won't stop

until I've rested enough for this numbness to end

until you end with it.

lethehallowed cure
or, is it?

olden taste
of nightmares gone hope

breathe in
the unsullied beauty

desire is wild

wisdom
is a nomad

wander, soul
further and ahead
drown the past, deeper
if you must

but never forget
how to trace your footsteps back
to the knowledge of pain;

even memory
would rather un-remember
desolation.

gone ripplingwhere hope dies weeping
weathered tears of cold decay
impervious beauty springs
in radiant cascades

clad in a lucent mist
veiled silence that commands
a furtive resurrection
of warbling promise

unwitting splendor caught
in a fluid moment, trancelike.

wind advisorybattle of colors and wills
and seasons

the branches flail
as two clans of clouds clash

fallen soldiers, the leaves
dance downward
needing no obituary;
Nature always turns
death into life

no greed, no vain crusade
for power, to be abused
no tears, no graves, no mourning

come morning, the sun may shine
or perhaps, the rain and wind will keep
the stronghold of their stormy pact

but still, instead of bloodshed
there will be nourishment
and the un-weak that fall
will only make the union
and blessed harmony, stronger

balance;
if only we fought our wars
like General Gaia.

Silvergoldto flow is to last
to outlast
to have found
ever-seeking

fluidity of enchantment
liquid dream
awake, I touch you
aglow

tidal priestess
of ripples and magic
bound to everflow;

I know what forever
tastes like.

treevial soliloquyLeaves like butterflies
are kisses, pieces of me
have fallen like rain.

Reflections never lie
unless we seek in vain
to see what cannot be.

I watch me shed
another love affair
with fickle autumn

Fragments of memories
blind eyes floating
on a withering face

of water and sky is
the palindromic essence
of my still fate.

I silently embrace
the long, cold wait
of winter's bareness.

Description Details Share

This is a collaboration with the lovely and moving

It all started with a few beautiful lines that she sent me
and from then on we both added, removed, edited and rearranged,
until everything meshed into one voice and something we hold very near and dear.

Please visit her own poem and give her some love;
she is a truly wonderful woman and soul.
It was a joy and an honor, writing with her.

AntiopeanAntiopean

in these hours waiting to be dawn
my indigo mind travels
through misfit dreams
when the wind hung low
on warriors' brow

roaming on the edge of reason:
hunting a waning faith

my soul bleeds yearning
as I wait for wings of foam
to carry me high above cerulean tides
where bone-dry, wanton eyes
meet liquid destinies

to joust like banished wraiths
claiming the same horizon

in these hours waiting to be dawn
my quivering fingers trace
the outline of the moon
as she ebbs, chased
a wounded amazon

fallen from might to shadow
missing her bow and arrow

- Sophi

Thank you.
