Restless

a tale of two muses

 

Watching from afar. Shadows bow down before the soft hues of lunar grace. Understanding forms the elegant smile upon his face. Tender care wraps around each step - walking on precious glass. The edge between the worlds a well worn mountain trail, leading closer and further. All at once and never before.

Her morning wears the scent of secrets. Nearby a golden chalice rests upon a wilted rose , the last drops of the potent elixir evaporating into the morning mist.  Her eyes slivered by sunlight ,  she seals them to time and embraces the last whisper of her silken dream. She feels the warmth of the sun pour over her skin, and a shadow of a smile she knows she will soon miss ...

Shimmer and shivers echo around about. Smallest motion drawing the long awaited sigh as movement sinks down into the flow of the threads. He knows this be the calming breath before the heartfelt torn asunder cascades into trickles thundering onto bare bones. The beginning as never before .

Author's Note

A bit of spontaenous combustion between the two muses of Fyreheart and I .

I like this enchantingly inked write very much. I love the vivid visual detail painted through excellent word choice, for the reader. So eloquently expressed, the poem flows effortlessly from your skilled pen. Lovely use of metaphor and alliteration. I have so enjoyed reading. An excellent collaboration. Thank you for sharing.

elemental mysteries. The setting of timelessness, eternity, an acknowledged infinite sleep and the passion of "beginning as never before"
It's like a vulnerable match flame struggling to be in a winter wind.

This blooms of lust, life and seperation, lost love, loved pieces of life, and great insight.

That's the spontaenous combustion I felt, indeed... You are always more a one who talks to the stars... yet so close to the ones you love truly. It is hard to figure out lol... ~ but lovely dear friend, for me it's always a pleasure to get lost in your labyrinth of thoughts~

This is intoxicating to put it mildly.

A walk into the world of two minds using the same path and yet, an epilogue to a crossroads and sweet choice. Your muses did a fine and beautiful job.
