Desultory

A Poem by Perdition
"

This may change...though I should doubt it. Oh, and Happy New Year to all in appreciation for always such my inspiration

"
There commands no sword unspoken
a land less traveled as before demands us
though we may bear such scars from God 
your robe upon the floor 
abandons

Make not the arrow as
our reverence demands,
when chalice fills us nightly 
questions come to tongue become quite certain
as we sow ourselves through time 

Should I
not seeing your eyes beneath me
understand the cause
or should these hands as vessels do
meet their curiosity as well

Let us wake from Rome together
both apple as lash stares upon our sill
and yet we are still as paint, wet and inclined
defined as no tomorrow 
and how it gathers us in mind by question
inch by length through mile 
to fondle marked as twain 
in depth of mystery

If I remain beyond the hour, I'll try and bring more, but more to the barrel of truth, as noble and silent as I can muster and for those who may not know, I chose long ago to use this name "Perdition".. more..
