Alone I walk

A Poem by Perdition

Alone

I walk, once only in courage, now closer to

voices where since I can recall

the life astride, our hours of skin, and

the dawn adrift, the moment lost on

sake and silence

And though these clouds are blend as angels,

love is bond, uncommon, a time of wealth

as we are now

unknown, lost

and where the highest law defends

let our pledge be ours

It grades with need

it fears the lack unquestioned

You face in hour

needle plunged

From our sins returns the wounds

yearning for the glass and hemlock

we were fools daring to follow our

feelings

Fools to touch the heaven within

I know not

from what this bears

only distraught for death when rendered

I know only from life and coil, the warrant,

fool, the seed inside your iris

Where my tomb will rise

let solace reign

A final storm

forgiveness

this heart in search of you

a lion from the weeds

let there be with sun uneasy

a quest against the hill

an iris, ten.... the beauty I have seen

soft and settled into mine

They will beg to plead finality

they will learn the mark of fate

from here we are thieves repaired in souls

shall fear what unwinding

Hi there,
Going over your words several times and I find that these words are a poem themselves. I really enjoyed the entire poem but kept going back to this bit. To me it represents love at its best. Lisa
