Shades In Shadows
Hello again
magic maze rustling in the darkness
at the corners of my stinging eyes
is this another choice of turns or
am I meant to slide along this warm soft wall
Is that a hint of familiarity thrumming
through a non existent groundless swell
Or just a rush of sudden hope
to leave a wake to follow are
all these swirling twirls
just empty winds of fate
am I yet again too late
or is this wisp of energy a thread
A thunder in my head
a soft caress
from other blood that bled
and coursed through
other nights than these
and now vainly reaches out or in
to please
I close my eyes and try to see
as cymbals tin inside my ears
I icy reach inside my selves
encircling arms into
deeper darkness
and try to guide
falling feeling
into soaring flight
Through ever twisting fate.
I’ve been in here before
and met myself returning
with ever constant yearning
to learning all the woven ways
the larger and the lesser turns
and twists of late and early greeting
hello out there
dark lady fair
wouldst care to share
this maddening
ever fleeting
search
