First Leaf: "Radiantly Dark"
I have wandered the moon-smitten byways of earth and not seen
a divinity as radiantly dark as your eyes, and knowing this I am
lost, not caring, for my mind is lost just as well…
* * *
… I won´t be found until the eclipse of divinity, and with an ache
marrow-deep of spirit confess that I don´t want to be…
* * *
… intoxication too often leaves one ravished: the bittersweet
aroma of longing ravaging me…
* * *
… dare to drain the wineglass of desire, then fling it and listen to
the piercing tinkle of breaking glass, an ominous sound, but
more pleasant than that of a breaking heart…
~~~~~~~
Whistle away your anger and leave your lungs empty for a new
gulp of air – born of yourself…
