Selene

Crowescent Verse

 

Marble light envelops a lingering darkness,

And I see the pallid face of my nocturnal lover

Glow ardently with a passionate remorse

For my fading show of affection. 

I whisper to her, my voice caressed by midnight winds,

Carrying discarded sincerities without cause,

With no purpose except for the sole sake of speaking.

My words; a ship set for sail to lands long abandoned.

She smiles on me, despite my vain concerns

And sails her own attention to my crescent harbor,

Opening a sea of tranquility, full of damask dust

And sinuous sands as soft as velvet.

I am entranced and pulled on; a rising tide and falling,

Back into the enormous body of grey reflections,

The image of which fixates me for years, for centuries,

For an eternity of beholding what is beyond my reach.

Time becomes a torturous force of waiting,

Waiting, yearning, watching, wanting, and hoping

For the eternal wake to cease its ripples;

For an amorous redemption I may never know

To arise from the ashes of black and white fires.

This is probably my favorite of all your pieces that I've read. I'm a sucker for description. XD

[Walkingblind]

I'm stunned this is fantastic the visuals are enhanced by your beautiful
descriptive words, so the setting of this piece jumps out at me. I can
feel, smell, hug, and experiance each line as if they were ment to have
a story each. I can see everything so clearly, greatly written, brilliant!
