Skipping Stones

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skipping stones across the still quite waters While as enclosed within these submerged thoughts.... Pondering this blanket of fogful mist alongst the path, have I tread and beared As in time as in life as of recent days Allowing shadows their moments somehow, someway?! Lost amid the backwards brush of a translations, understanding.... Interpretations tattood upon my heart like an inverted crossing Blood drenched quills soaked in cardinal red Etched upon the caverns walls of what should have been said These words this verse a world and then!? Skipping stones from my very own Souls bleeding wounds In gushing currents caught to seep through this they rent Poisoned dreams; saturated walls aneath ripplings effects.... Rising dunes across quicksand deserts born in the mires; deeper and deeper Into sedations daze as the storm clouds quickly gather above Translations from these interpretations of, so called love?! But how could this be and why I ask myself again As the undertow of riptides begin to draw them in; further, into their sin... Blood atop the pages to be extracted this breath of life Life, that I have longed to embrace; to present Spilled until its love had morphed into something bent!? Stepping back from the edge now, upon this mountains cliff The valley below amid chasteless darkness beckoning unto my Spirit Calling from beyond; enticing tongues soaked in the stillness of, cortege red.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....“Skipping Stones” ~
