Candor

Wind rips her veins from a lost crumbled soul
barren in meadows grown old
fixated on a proven path
a past
watching the ice melt trickle
and all as well as it was
 
frozen within time 
from heartbeats long ago
when words tumbled 
seduced 
from a golden chalice
eclipsed in an elixir of the sun
 
running off with the shadows
humming new found melodies
 
love blooming in the iris
life beaming abound
 
it was summer
as they did say
and she was know to wake at all hours
beheld in a bosom of bard
 
tunes we held tight
notes repeated in sultry serenade
smokey and cool
in a jazzed up funky way
 
day lit and the night burned
waxing the dripping moon
beheld in bones of those who bore forbearance
caressing a candor released
in the dark fortress of forbidden
a poem perhaps or not
 
we were to be
perchance set free
or forth
until all eternity

Though free verse, it has a classic ring to it. Very nice

Awakened, perchance as a new bud in Spring or the warmth of a lover's kiss. Two sighs.
