Fire and Ice

Fire and ice fill these veins, dreams are no longer sufficient to quell the turbulent tides that quarrel within. Deep within butterflies dance out of sync, and the heartstrings await the magical fingers of the harpist. Solitudes aura is cold and clammy, there is a dark side to this loneliness that I cannot comprehend, it leaves me wanting. This lonely castle wall where so many poets have cast their words, thrown their hearts to a new horizon or a setting sun, is where I await the tide that brings you forth. For I know you are real, we have touched in another time, drank the wine, made love, danced the dark hours in passion. Dim my vision since you waltzed these eyes, my Queen come to me, come with haste, fill these arms, fill this heart, kindle the fires and melt the ice. Bring me stars , bring me paradise, give me lips as soft as snow, give to me your love and these castle walls would crumble before your smile. Patiently I stand these walls, scanning the seas for that sail that conveys our union, lonely but so in love.

Just lovely Dan..I hope we BOTH find these "others" outside our castle walls. It's sure doesn't get any easier as we age does it?
