poetry – Into the Unknown

L.

…I may have loved you from afar,Just when the time was young,And love as sweet,I may have loved you from afar,But never dared to think,Or look, or speak… ~Anon My life was long, and long was my desireTo find another soul in endless maze,To find someone who could aspireTo burn and soar in my embrace.Continue reading “L.”

Out of…

Out of pain my song rises,Out of the dark.Through the mist it soarsInto the night. Higher and higher it fliesToo high to see,Reaching the unreachableThe unknown. Out of the depth my song risesOut of the dark,Plunging into the waterInto the night. Deeper and deeper it fallsToo deep to feel,Singing still, ringing quietlyIn the halls ofContinue reading “Out of…”

Hypnos/Thanatos

Sleep is the brother of Death:Nothing to fear.Nothing to run from.Sleep is the brother of Death. Children of the Endless,Sons of Night,Almighty, merciful,More powerful than gods. The Night gave us lifeThe Night bore usUnder the endless skies,By moon, stars and sea. Death is the brother of Sleep,Lavender tinted with opium,Valerian-scented honey,Death is the brother ofContinue reading “Hypnos/Thanatos”

I would give you finest silverTo glitterIn your hair. I would give you rarest gemstonesTo adornYour face and hands. I would give you all I haveTo have and to holdFor evermore. All my treasures will be yoursInvisibleTo see If only you would swear tonightThat you’llBelong to me.

Lestat ‘ s recitative / Confession

Do you even knowThat life flowsLike blood does –Freely, subtly, invisiblyPassing throughRealms and times? Do you even knowThat death comesAs storm does –Swiftly, unexpectedly, gracefully,Cutting throughHistory’s silks and stones? Do you even knowThat nothing holdsAs fast as death does-Clasping to the heart,Grasping by the throat,Kissing till the last breath? Do you even knowThat eternity dancesInContinue reading “Lestat ‘ s recitative / Confession”

November canticle

I will leave no trace,Like the autumn rainI will sweep you off,And pain will be over.Finally. I will be gentle –As gentle can be,As a melodyThat flies above the clouds ,Glorious. I will be kind,As the spring sunThat makes the flowersBloom in the snowLovingly. I will be enchantingAs the old fairy taleGold-dusted,Full of memoriesOf magic.Continue reading “November canticle”

I remember

I remember…The longing,And windswept hair,I rememberThe yearningAnd rainwashed smile. I rememberThe tuneOf the lonely fluteCaught in a webIn the elder boughsOf the memory lane. I rememberThe voiceOf velvet and spiceI rememberThe eyesOf the deepest green. I rememberThe storiesThat came and went,Caught in a webIn the Hawthorn pathOf the memory lane. I rememberThe nameOf almonds andContinue reading “I remember”

Dream of the Endless

I am Dream of the Endless,I am beginning and end,Master of visions and nightmares,Lord of whispering realms. I am Dream of the Endless,I am the shadow and mist,Friend to the wise and the reckless,Undying and one to be missed. I am Dream of the Endless,The mighty, the healing, the curse,The one who consoles the restless,OrContinue reading “Dream of the Endless”
