See-Through

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Thoreau

echoes of silence meandering past

nighttime crooning with an unsettled rasp

to hold is to grasp

white noise of piano keys reverberating loneliness

rain fell in a deluge of inevitability

neither yesterday nor tomorrow taking responsibility

remembrances of a bed being warm

raw desire taking on a new art form

togetherness its own reform

silk sheets to egyptian cotton

longing begotten

eternity far but not forgotten

walking over water

heaven's daughter

treading on hearts

translucence of time

clouds whisper as they depart

passion an onlooker when love was born

see-through negligee blown by the whirlwind of a departing storm

Author's Note

"I would give all the wealth of the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision." - Thoreau

Very passionate and sweet-sounding. Sad to hear the conclusion. You had that collusion with love(not Russia). You played the music of loneliness. You wrote with forgotten vastness.
