Halcyon Reborn

 -- A collaboration between Elisa Laura and Matt Sayer -- 

A rainbow road,

                Gold-limned

 And lit by angel’s eyes.

 

             Crowds of clouds on sideline fence,

Silent cheers,

             Urge us on to rainbow's end:

 

A pot of paradise,

               Simmering with ambrosia.

 

Snowflakes shaped by fingertips,

               Raindrop tears from 'side our hips,

 

And smiling down above heaven’s highway,

                      The moon,

         Is almost half again,

 

And the crickets, are almost frozen;

 

                       A candle burns, right in my heart;

             A warm place, of love rebirths,

 

  Invisible trust, the lands just speak

 

Of our compassion we embrace,

              This warmth of pure bliss.

 

     But there is pain, through this beauty,

A smell, of a first kiss....

 

             Of lips searching,

               Uncertain, impassioned.

 

Of Hands questing,

               Nervous, determined.

 

A tune of skipping hearts,

                An arrhythmic orchestra,

            Where the souls sing as one,

                    Immortal,

                           Eternal.

 

And that feeling, is what you

            Burn in my heart, passion everlasting,

 

If I could reach out with longer arms,

                I would climb to the stars,

     I would pluck them, make it a neon necklace,

 

I would whisper it like a rosary of love,

                And caress each one with trembling touch.

 

For the silver lining of my heart,

                To yours in darkest night,

 

                     Is so neat, with this heart that bleeds

                                        The passion of our love...

 

I cross o’er seas, in a speed of fire;

             My heart’s realm has open doors;

 

Nobody can stop me from this furious love,

    I dance for you, play my lyre,

 

             And embrace the pain of our fear,

The cliff-edge beckons…

Omg!!! This is the epitome of star-crossed lovers..
To wear a "neon" necklace made of stars, is unlike any
imagery I can ever fathom...Pure...Ethereal...unwavering...
The pain of falling madly in love can drive one over the edge...
But how worthy it is to feel a moment of bliss.

You both ignite such passion in your art!!!
This is an enchanting collaboration...
A rare fine gem, indeed!!!
A Spectacular rebirth

This is awesome work you guys!! Specific style of writing and the tone itself. I'm just really hoping for more stuff like this Matt:)

[Winter Renee Vineyard]

This is so amazingly beautiful!!!! It really touched my heart! You make quite a pair!

[icelandicblue]

Your styles meld perfectly and I do believe you have created a style that fits the epitome of both your talents. It's just so beautiful and I cannot tell where one end and the other begins.I was especially enamored by your moon and raindrops tears that fall from hips and that a candle always burns...it really is stunning. I would hope that you would do this again and soon.

Thanks Cody! :)

[Leigh]

The sum of one add one can equal more than two in some instances and this is an example of that, I am not suggesting synergy, but through your togetherness you have given this well produced poem a greater breadth and dimension. A great collab, congrats to both.
