May her eyes lift upon this nightly, shadowed form cast beneath the cadencies of fear, lest her heart be lost with the rising of the sun.

Across a thousand expanse of desert, I have wandered.
I have seen the hemorrhaging of a brand new sun upon the early day.
I have stumbled upon the blackest black sands, the whitest night one could ever see.

I have seen beauty fail.

I have seen death first hand;
the blood on her lips, the faintest breathing of her tears.
I have found a bloated, maggot infested child rotting in the dank heat of an Arizona sky.

I have seen the arms of friends and lovers speckled and tracked black across the needles seam.
I have seen the blood and vomit on the walls.

I have heard the laughter, and the laughter hurts the most.

The countenance of my love is thunder burdened by the rain,
a silver blue and blond breaking the silences of seas.

I am ready to sleep the sleep of dreams. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 488 [topic] => 48 [informant] => iodinelove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

some beautiful metaphors here...somehow hued with a crestfallen tone.
i truly appeal to the line : "hemorrhaging of a new sun". it is somewhat grotesque...strangely appealing, yes.
Seems like some of the 'figurative' language, speaks some remote truth?
simply awe inspiring is this piece.
i look forward to more..and more.
