Black in Black

  Black in Black

Cloud-capped violins

dressed in ashen dreams

swaying, longing,

ever so gently fading

by the motionless hands

of yesterday's verdant gleams

for you have drifted away,

so, so faraway,

leaving only a Plutonian void behind

where crystal serpents of dismay grind,

silencing the lulling mazes of my life

with their foamy cascades of strife

amaranthine hopes

lit by years of a fruitless toll

quivering, shivering

still nestling

deep in the damp opaque eyelids

of this lonesome, ruptured soul.

naked prayers try to rise

up, up arise!

but the wings of my breath are clipped

unable to reach Heavens from their crypt

slowly being consumed without a reply

by the scratching echoes of goodbye

unclosing eyes

wedded to a lost precious Sight,

waiting, grieving,

endlessly weeping.

liquid sighs of ghostly memories

poring unto the brimming night

elevating my arms to reach out high

so, so high

but alas! my Beautiful Queen

you can no longer hear me

nor read me

nor heal me

for I have become a departing shadow

an oozing poet of the Cimmerian Meadow.

draped in black in a black light

orbiting in the ever-during night,

with my black whispers

and black tears,

around your imperious pearls,

that are reflecting

your garish smile,

flaxen curls...

my forever lost treasures,

oh, the never tasted pleasures...

You were so kind to visit me the other day, I wanted to come to meet you through your words. I have read both of your writes up, and they are amazing. I read your Bio and I would say you have a great command of the English language. Your work is beautiful. Keep it up.

Blessings,

This poem is stunningly well written and speaks poetry with amazement,
reading there is much to consider, detail, imagery emotion, truths, insight,
delving ode to the stars- draws the mind to ponder the ways of beauty.
beautifull invented!
