Click hereHe is blind. You outsiders see no more
than him. He is made blind by ice,
eyes filmed, in his heart a shard rent
between logic and love, given over not
to sadness, but emptiness prevailing
like wind. Once his smile bound
their garden in a parenthesis of tenderness.
This is how flowers bloomed, spring swayed.
Once a rose lay unfurled between them
like friendship. She would cross rivers,
drop her dread over boatside,
walk alone over forest floors if only
the stones would part. If only
she could breathe that empty air,
she would outsmart all nature,
let leaves green again, give her shoes
to a tattered child promising clarity,
a path into the glaciers. She would believe
even as every petal warned her don’t
follow north to the heart of winter
where the queen reigns in frozen remove.
Even then she would believe that every endless
outcry of storm ends with morning breaking
sunlight over the soundless howl. His heart
might melt again. She would believe. Perhaps
she is mistaken. Perhaps the tune is unfamiliar,
and it is only her own echo crying. Temptation
caresses her face. She is fearless. Foolish.
Perhaps spring will grace his heart,
thaw it free of contradiction’s shadow.

WickedEvealmost 20 years agoI'm tired of telling you how great your poetry is. I need to think of something more original. Hey, I know. Stop writing until I come up with better PC material. :)

echoes_salmost 20 years agowhen you first posted it and it touched me deeply as it does here Ange. So full of emotion, the beginning, happiness, hope, lost hope, sadness, learning, and growing as we always do. :rose:
Syndra Lynnalmost 20 years agoamaze me. I guess I shoud expect brilliance by now. Wonderful phrases
their garden in a parenthesis of tenderness.

My Erotic Tailalmost 20 years agoYou know I read your poems as there posted as I happen to have time today to comment on every ones poems I find myself once again scratching my head wondering what to say. I can only say I read your poem I ain't a very good poet or perhaps more so I'm not a poet. But wanted you to know I do read your stuff just don't know what they say so I don't know what to reply. But perhaps if I keep reading one day it'll ding in my head hey I know what that was about. Thanks ANGELINE~
Tathagataalmost 20 years agoHow I feel about this.

One of the best things I've ever seen you produce
Very Nice Ange
