Kikuyu_Black_Paws Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 When I listen you send goosebumps up my arms Initially you sound like a whisper, or a scream Now your cold visage slowly warms Deepens like dusk and turns to dusky cream Inside I can feel the goosebumps touch my heart Crawling through the forests like some creature of the dead And yet you glitter madeningly of love and hidden hate Not for seeking-- I pray you haven't come too late Silence fills the empty air in the gap that you have left Every sound is magnified by air and time and hardships Even the chimes stand silent and dare not move their lips Yes I wish to seek you, yes I wish to hold you Out of my fingers you fly and laugh your sweet beguile Under my gaze, though, I can see your smile.
