Grave Tones Dark Glamour

Though much maligned, patiently, I wait
for the fall of beauty to be enthralled
and rest within my iron gate, 
where love and innocence is recalled.

I have wrapped your hull in gentleness
and adorned your amorphous soul,
entombed, in wombed, guardian I, rock you 
bringing fond memories which coalesce
and ensorceled lullabies to this knoll.
Dark is the glamour which bids you adieu.

I, too, was greeted with a new friend in "ensorceled." I love poetry that affords me the opportunity to learn, so thanks for that. "Amorphous soul" was intriguing, too, since I thoughs all souls were amorphous, but I shall think on it. As I've said before, I always welcome new excuses to think. :-) -Dean

Wow Debbie - Mirror mirror on the wall. Thank you for this haunting that lingers with me. Oh how you bring home the starkness with that last line. "ensorceled" is a brilliant word I never knew and these words: "in wombed, guardian, I, rock you" are stunning. love, Kathy love, Kathy
