A deathly pallor
12 March 2015
Night’s sky breathed aloud
Jasmine like a streak of light
Called to the wild side
An intake of wilderness
Throbbed in my mind’s eye again
The owl hooted once
Its cry silenced by the night
That prepared for doom
The knell rang on as I knelt
Neither submissive nor wild
The rose felt its thorns
Through darkness that hid its gait
In reminiscence
Pictures against my mindscape
Shuddered with stark remembrance
The lanterns hissed out
As storms danced into their lights
Darkness then prevailed
Cloak of night like a fog reigned
A while as I let it creep
The winds blew their hearts
In clouds that scattered silver
Like coins strewn in sky
Pennies would have outweighed thoughts
As they roamed without purpose
Remnants of us glowed
Ghostly ink against pink flesh
A deathly pallor
Gaunt cheek though pale stood firmly
Its twin it offered no more
