~Moon Kissed

His touch freed me from my fears

The darkling's melody pierces my ear,
Haunting memories come back with chilly air.

Breezing past my scarred cheeks,
Tall shadows loom before me,so thick.

Pulling the veil across my dim eyes
I walk on the withered leaves
Of the trodden past,with a sigh!

Dropping the determined lamp
On the yellow pile....
I watch as the punishing flame
Feeds each,in its fiery grip...
Joyless laughters,agonized tears,
Every piece dissolves away....
It dries up in the pool of my fears.

What stares back at me are just
Bits of ashes winding o'er
The dormant fire of love's lyre.

Unmasking my blemish
I feel the moon beams
Flood my aching body
I feel soft lips on my scar.
Never again will i go this far.....
Never..................Again..........
This.....................Far...............

Ok so what I'm getting is the subject has memories of the past, and because of the hurt and pain they been through has made the decision to not feel that way again, even if it means sacrificing their own personal happiness? Had to read it twice I got lost midway. I love it but it also feels slightly overpowered to me.

I got a cerebral collision from reading this Sophy - I guess it was the flickering lamp I was reading it by ;p

right seriously now ANTO !

A true moon mistress - unable to stop repeating the mistakes of the past - the lamp is determined but determined lamps arent the same as deserved lamps and so really not the ideal way to deal with the past - burning it - embracing it is better, learning from it then transcending it will come next.

The dormant fire of love's lyre - or love's liar - a clever play on words.

The ending is so sensual - and we are back to the guilt - she will have to return - ostensibly to deal with more 'past' but really to meet up again with her one true love.

God but that image you chose is a superb one though Sophy.

Bravo! :)

I could sense a resolve, a boundary marked. Dark and strong.
