Fragment

Created on: August 16, 2007 Last Updated: August 13, 2013 Trembling underneath A mask once hid it all I believe you hold the key So I'll go and take my fall I would shake, I'd cry in love's embrace The horror of the bitter past Oh, how I've tried to erase Society's stones cast, their stones cast (so fast) And my serenity; the stillness of my heart Lasts for a moment, then the moment is gone This yearning to be comforted by the strong Within this fragment of time; passing, tattered and scarred Has it an affect on my reflection? Saddened by my image in life's waters My mind to the West as the East slowly sets Trembling underneath A mask that hid it all I believe you hold the key So I'm here to take my fall I wouldn't shake, Yet gently I know the tears to come with embers, sparkling bright The stones cast, now just the past As I take a deep breath, and breathe in hind-sight At midnight's beckoning, A void left amid the dark Fadings; fragments, pieces, and parts The weight becomes a bit heavy to bear But it's a load according to who we are... Could indeed, be it love waiting? ....pass the glass.... Where softly tears fall Life dreams through the darkness, ~~where you are~~

Beautiful vulnerability Cindy - motivating melancholoy - I admire the line/concept structure; its very effective and shows very good control of the language/concepts - the romantic metaphysics is the best part of all for me - J.A.B. %

Spectacular in its expressive desire for more. Through the judgments, the conundrums, the uncertainties...you just want/hope that something real is waiting at the end. Very, very deep. You have a way with words. I'll have a cigarette in your honor. ;-)
