Stille

Sorted memories of Augsburg 
abyss the tranquil lessons above 
empty channels of you and I 
why I've catered to the flicker 
of light coming from the corridor 
down the hall where the teakwood 
table stood holding up the marble vase 
that shattered everytime the door opened 
my heart was flushed with a masculine
tale of dungeons and dragons at the behest 
of feeling hope an yet you entered again 
that quiet place that calmness against 
all odds thee uncharted place beneath 
the spoon of a Bishop's wife where 
I'd bestowed a certain chastity wildly 
explored throughout wisdom's sphere 
in sheer doubt of waking to find 
that you were still here

I love this! Beautifully written, I love your choice of words and use of metaphors. They come together to create a poignant image. Blessings, Rhonda:)
