Stepping Through Time

As time and space dimensions jelly-fish… Quiet falls the cement-turf of lock-box seas; Milky Way kisses answer my wish - She nestles ‘neath an orchard cloak of apple trees: --- Gray! Everything is gray! Gray is the sun! But there she is…Providential Happenstance; Butterflies turn. Acceptance - There’s nowhere to run. Besotted silhouettes all but shadow dance Achromatic Royalty speaks by way of muted denial. Her silence floats fire upon fairie-flute notes. Clair de Lune. She is a piano; She is forbidden fruit. Unwrapped, she plays me to please the colorless moon But still, magnets dance in tight embrace - Our feet float fire upon cement courts at Wimbledon; Wrapped by love - loved by shadows their hearts erased - A queen’s colorless eyes briefly firefly flicker forbidden sun --- And now, when time and space dimensions intertwine, And with my fate convene while I’m in dream; Where sleep disbands, awakened thoughts opine - Not unlike pink, does Cleopatra seem. 2/1/2017

This is so beautiful. You wrote it for the contest, didn't you? For me this is one of the best I've read so far. Cleopatra... I see you go through time, I can hear the music accompanying. This is so good Phillip :)

That's so nice of you to say. Thanks Sheriff. Truth be told, this is kind of a mash up of 15 failed sonnet attempts to call a certain someone the Queen of Denial. Shhh...
