The Velvet Echo

"The Velvet Echo" 

Lives 
eclipse

one comes in
the other out

passing light
in empty hallways

corridors of subversive
romantic notions 

strange singing, 
the sounding lifts 

waves 
enticing,

smiles curiously 
unsure, in the drift

towards another life 
oceans deeper across

invocations, swimming sirens 
beautiful bells appealing 

fibonacci tendrils 
enveloping emptiness 

another language 
transferred, in the feeling

stretching eternity
in subliminal universes 

never touching
but touching

one looks over 
to the other, 

there, somewhere,
something other, sensed

contracted
reflections 

holding 
patterns

for a while each 
the other

the signing sings
in elliptical signals

mysterious 
missives

one in wonder
one in doubt

the myth of each 
rich and encrypted

before waking
as in a dream 

there in that sacred place
a voice unseen 

impresses, 
its velvet echo caresses 

the softness suspended
in two hearts held

it says,
to each

“You are in my realm now”
“You are in my realm now”

I'd love to, to sunlight, a song in the bed of dreams Cover me in Sublime light, with tingles Sing, and touch me With sad lust and revealing dreams Your song light will touch me - Login to Reply Lady Labyrinth Date: 8/19/2022 12:10:00 AM Sing nice body, passing through and over me So find me, come and answer me We find it deep, this, my minute, friend Not long before the wisps of starlight, meet the sunrise thru the window (shining) From outside, come in to toss me. Come back now, to find the sunlight - Lady Labyrinth Date: 8/19/2022 12:10:00 AM Come back now, put sunlight on, oh Be with me and dream, it's my minute, friend Come feel the deep It's love in a floodlight Come feel the deep It's love in a flood - Lady Labyrinth Date: 8/19/2022 12:10:00 AM Sing and touch light, satisfying me The sunlight will touch me Sing as from me, pass it over me, sublime me and I'll... come back to you."
