Visions Of Mystery

Somehow amona the hidden leaves
 of time when quietude swerves
 on a road leading me to reach 
for waning hours ,
there is a lush of evening's breath 
panting inside those marble eyes
that if I gaze long enough into darkness
 your iced look will blink, to open windows 
that are locked by hinges creating knots enmeshed

The distant screams paint your irises j
utting out from a frame of hard lids 
buried deeply on frigid weeds-- 
and the night loses its elegance
while your crystal tears invade the shining glow 
behind the lamp within your eyes---| learn to understand how confidential this time is when you fade away, 
knowing not I am there

This had such a dreamlike, feathery quality to it, like fine lace. Twin flames are always entwined somehow. Definitely a 7. Congratulations!

Excellent work, Nette. Your phrasing had me entranced liked "nights refrain" and "at the edge of twilight" ... enjoyed your less literal approach to the theme. Congrats on your top placement!

First, let us celebrate that I found it. (wait - I'm clapping and jumping.) I thought I might find something on spirituality or reincarnation, what I found is a belief in soulmates poetically and creatively revealed. I found the ending dramatic, because only then did I realize the soulmates were not together. Is this true? Have you met this soulmate? It took many decades to find the one that I 'felt.' This poem was well worth the time searching ... CayCay
