A preying breathmay steal the shamethat binds the firewhere it burns,then comes the dark upon strange wind,and feeds the red flame as it turns. A path of ash lies on the tongue,and soot drags wetalong the thigh~yet dawn cools pale the waxing night,as black eyes watch the fire die Celticlion Poetry Fri, 09 May 2008 14:09:34 GMT /section-566-poetry#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8554 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8554 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8554 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8202-the-poetic-ghetto-of-elemental-process https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8202-the-poetic-ghetto-of-elemental-process   Pull down your hooded eyes, They can't predict when bone Will curl like roots of lightning, Striking where all lips burn grey, All storms have thrown Their stones of turning words As battened tongues flown loose, Heads whip and spill; The slowing rush, The dripping thunder Tears small echoes from each hill, There's no direction left to run, The calling hides its hands of arrows Wind slung deep in falling caverns Mountains gouging out dark skies, Where no one breathes in risen ash But crawling cry into rain's rotted mouth. ... more Celticlion Poetry Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:22:31 GMT /section-566-poetry#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8202 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8202 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8202 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8283-spying-on-twilight-night-and-dawn https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8283-spying-on-twilight-night-and-dawn   Finding myself within a wrinkle edging Twilight's eye, I watched time's hidden grey revealed in shapes that fell where ending day lay fading half-asleep beneath her lidded violet gaze.   Night's waiting well; sun's surface burned to drink, but depth kept darkness cold in velvet's deep. The murmuring thread of Twilight's tongue languidly drew up well's bottom, black filling her cupped hands of mist with inky shadows, rising wet to stain her thirsty lips.   The peering sky bent down to taste her mouth, and all made dark for lovers who must make ... more Celticlion Poetry Sat, 26 Apr 2008 18:08:36 GMT /section-566-poetry#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8283 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8283 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8283 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8158-recitative https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-8158-recitative   The wind whispers, I am a cold darkness, you cannot keep me, my fingers never close but blow within locks, an unwinding thread of Earth's infancy, I will gather the fabric of seas, and wrinkle fields, I will breathe soft stitches in the skin of clouds, pulling them behind, chariots billowing above the beasts I quicken, I will unrest the sleep of your forest's peace, my silver tongue tasting, what hides within broken branches of your mind, the pulp of your heart scattered, with splintered leaves, I will rattle dust, making sleeves of music, whipping the throat of night, making her cry for me, so that I might console each shadow's ear, with my soft sympathy. ... more Celticlion Poetry Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:15:32 GMT /section-566-poetry#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/8158 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/8158 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A8158
