Drawn By the Beauty of the Vain

She wispered softly to him her fears. He confided in her his pain.

They walked together, hand in hand, along the beach that took their lives.

On pins and needles and sharpened knives, they bled out in eachothers eyes.

What of the world that didn't care? But still they escaped the lies.

The scorn, humiliated by the glaring stares, searching.

They left this world, two lovers too young, jaded by what they didn't know.

Hand in hand they walked the beach that took their lives.

 

Still people claim to see their spirits in the spray

Not sure if one day they too will meat that fate.

It would seem that others have met death along this shore.

It would seem they are drawn here by some mysterious call

Perhaps a siren song that only lovers hear.

Perhaps a soft wisper calling only the lovers ear.

Hand in hand to death they stride, unknowing of what the waters hide.

 

In cold icy grip, feeling the sting in the nip, each in their own time comes.

As the spray washes over them and they breath the salty air

Something reaches out for them, but nothing it would seem is there.

Knive like fear grabs their throats as nothing chokes their screams.

Death it would seem is not without a since of calm and glee.

Lovers come and go from the shores of blood and red.

Lovers come to find eachother, but all they find is dead.

 

Something out there in the water creeps, something out there sings

A song no two people hear the same but a song just for them.

No one lives to warn another, no one can escape.

They come to near and all they hear the screams in blissful fear.

The blood red tide has so much to hide so wash upon their feet.

They come to find eachother but all they find is pain.

They come to live and love, drawn by the beauty of the vain.

Oooh I so feel this one, while they walk, there is silence, and pain, ignorance, but knowledge the same time... it's a poignant aspect, I feel here through your damn good quill. You see through the eyes, of the outsider the same time, by focusing on their vision of life, and from out of their eyes too, I think it's a great triangle of observation here. Not speaking of the fantastic visions, imagery, and metaphors you speak with. It's raw, hurtful, but beautifully honest in the same time, I love that. It's like a soft disease that slightly comes in, and will find home, in the fact of the love they share... "and then the question remains: what is stronger? " beautifully penned.... I felt it deeply.

You flater me with such kind words. I am overjoyed to know you enjoyed it Elisa. Thank you so much. It is always a pleasure to hear from you... Perhaps one of these days I will be able to capture, in word and verse, my joys... But for whatever reason my quill only finds the dark when paper calls it to scribble... But again, Thank you so much...

It's good you only find the dark for now, never put it away, it's raw, true, and beautifully honest, I have mixed writings, from dark into light, but there are darker ones too. And I am proud of them, for when you only laugh on WC as many do here, you hide a lot ;-) be always real... I love you like that. Elisa. Welcome xx

:) that is all I have to say. A smile for it is in a smile that miles seem only inches. It is distance that can be crossed in the blink of tomorrow. Where there is dark, yes, there also is light. And yes, where there is a smile, there is also, a frown, but not here. On this night there is no frown to be found, for it is simple words, a "thank you", an " Oooh I so feel this one" that turns it upside down into a smile, that will grow a mile and make a connection in writing. Thank you for that...

Exactly, maybe we have a real ocean between us friend, but in those many years I know you, it's always home I felt. :) Always there is light, and through darkness only we'll find it, I shall tell you soon more on that aspect... privately. :) Aw, it's really honest of me, because, I feel the reality of you, and I shall, and reflect always as Dutch as I am, (so honest). Thank YOU for being YOU. sweet friend, you are a gem! :)
