Listen to poem:

Tangled Tenebrious Time

The titans of time bring me back,
as I stare at a vision of long ago…
memories muffled in their menagerie,
serendipitous storms caught between;
                    tangled tenebrious time…
as the cathedrals crumble to the ground

the memories cyclone within pensive prayers,
for I then fall to my knees…
hopeless, I egregiously encroach,
the battle and the war rages on amidst;
                    tangled tenebrious time…
I then seduce the nilpotent night

my spirit sorely stands by the wayside,
wounded and watching a weighted will…
your love limited my longing,
imprisoning impulses idling in the beast of;
                    tangled tenebrious time…
thus I am back as the visions of you fade.

'Thus I am back as the visions of you fade - a faded photograph can last so long, the longing ebbs - but, your love limited my longing, says it all - a thought provoked write, intense and always with dictionary at hand with your poems my dear friend. Well penned ^WW^ Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
