Gazing At Cindered Skies

Torturous curves bending vision, twisting to hide beyond today what the prism of the future holds captive down the whispered way. Lost to us Love's fledgling glory, gazing too long at cindered skies till the velvet flame of passion just guttered out in harsh good-byes. Frail moths chasing bright illusions, our palpitant attempts denied. . . just down the road - to our mem'ry - we'll lay a stone, "Here sweet love died." Copyright, May 7, 2014 Faye Gibson
