The Twilight

You start abbreviating the pretention,
caring for the end of a perennial revenge –
of slain truth, finding depth in arguments
which will spawn more violence.

Come my friend, come. Sit with me.
Let us search together the solitary
death in living past. Ultimate space was
a great deception of the eternal silence.

Clayey mood again depicts the pain
between your moons. I go for a play in dust
of time. The beats of heart will not wear
a sword now.

One hope finds a moon-belt on the hills
where the shadows walk with stars.
I will wait for the sun to rise.

This is beauty itself. I loved the beginning... and the metaphor of the "beats of heart will not wear a sword now" and "clayey mood" is very original- I understood that. You have a real gift- I love sifting through the soul behind it. -Sara
