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.

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.

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.

un-gaggedWords rattle and hiss
snakelike rivers twisting, jousting
silenced knots that would defy
the very sword of Damocles,
tongue-sharp and flesh-thirsty.

Smothered flow, refused exodus
(like a circumscribed sky)
music-less and cramped
between the whimper and the howl;
foul and violent the taste
of muse's suffocation.

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.

aft and ahead

:iconhalcyonshores:

winds of change
blowing faster than
I can adjust my sails

perhaps I stubbornly refuse to
perhaps it's why I broke the compass
even though I know my course is set
in spite of me



(I want to tie the world to the mast
tweak the rudder and feed the ship
to the siren-wraiths, anchor-less
forget-me-bound

then swim to you unbounded
watching Ithaca
as it sinks)

I'm pretty sure I've treaded these same seas.
Probably drowned in them once or twice too.
It's only failure if you don't reincarnate yourself though.
I can relate wholeheartedly, and so, I like it muchly. :hug:
