Love's Haunting

 

What darkness is this that in my soul I find soaking?

Charming my time upon this world with its shadows

Of dreamlessness, and the pain of unquenched wishing.

Am I to stand in the shades of my making?

Toil in the dreams I have before me?

And yet upon my waking, find naught but the smoke of visions,

And the dreamless nights of sleeplessness, breathing the air of dark.

Love shines its beauty upon me, I feel her touch.

Love whispers her secrets to me, and my heart beats.

Wish my soul to follow, send my heart to her,

In the guise of my shadow I fly the nights.

For in my heart I see her, and shall forever know,

That love is my longing, as my darkness ever shall show.

Meditation on a Moment

 

Sit upon the rocks.

All I wish for in this world lies at my side.

Sit under the sun,

Letting the light and warmth ignite the deep and longing passion

Hidden in the well of my soul.

 

This is my place of dreams.

The touching place of three elements.

The resting place of all I wish for.

Water, rock, air, under the sky

All I dream is here.

And all I wish for lies at my side.

Arms around me, head upon my heart.

And my soul cries

For this time to never end.

ahhhhh a wish for titles, with which to properly respond..

 

The first one:

wow. intriguing thoughts all through - darkness soaking, yet charming with shadows.. "the pain of unquenched wishing" is wonderfully captured, as is "breathing in the air of dark".

Nicely done.

 

The second one:

i'm not going to have much to say that would be at all coherent, here, but you beautifully painted one of the few moments in *my* life that i hold dear - one of my own shining gems in the darkness. Thank you.
