I find no fight in this
Violent night;
Only figureless shadows against a
Moonlit mind.
There’s a bridge I must cross;
It reaches over the
Serenity of her star – filled mind.
The nothingness: only an absence of her might.
I leave the meaningless behind and
Bend towards the other side:
A reserved intoxication.
Ceremonial drums echo among the stars
As my slow – paced journey is
Slowed by the icy shackles of the shadows behind.
And over the star – filled mind awaits a
Turned figure; with hair flowing through
The emptiness between
Her fingers, and dress dancing to the
Beat of the echoes.
These shackles hold me back;
And I know I shall only be received
When forever ends
This beautiful piece makes me
This beautiful piece makes me think of a lost friend. I hope it will not be for ever, but the sentiments - many a night I have walked and felt the very sense I now get from reading your poem.
