CATTELINA'S ORCHID
The (Spiritual eclipse)
The gateways are closed for me
At night, a veil of stars, watching.
My shadow is born from light.
The light of the eye, in darkness.
In the name of desperation!
I call your name, in lamentation
I sigh, again and again.
~
I lament this memory
cannot bid farewell!
At night I always dream of you
The seed that has sprung
into a florid meadow,
& left me helpless in your embrace.
~
She was laughing
and weeping at once:
The idea is taking me away
My candlelight snuffed,
the bleak icon smiled.
Emptiness followed by her wake.
~
(I could clasp her undying love
within a ghostlike rapture)
~
She holds her head
up high in the rain.
Like the secret face
within the tapestry.
Like a bird of prey
over the crest,
she swathed me in sorrow,
as if I were born within a mask.
(But the souls of the fullmoon
await their shadows ablaze)
~
The sky has fallen
And I bare it's weight
These walls harbor a strange uniquity,
a darkness which never sleeps.
Sewing seeds of doubt within
~
Looming clouds prevail,
concealing the sun,
weaving a tapestry of guile
I've tried to keep adrift
on a sea of confusion.
Drank of the rivers and vale.
~
I commit this body to the ground.
Let soil wash over crossed arms,
a vessel to the grave,
resting in lament.
Pull me up through the earth,
peering through the sky,
wildfires have become
alive in me
Cannot turn me to stone
~
I can still see
the face you buried.
Held in sleep, I fall alone.
While leaves fall from
the weeping trees.
I am so alone, so cold.
~
Touching her flesh
in this night.
My blood froze forever
Embraced before the dawn,
a kiss brought total eclipse
And she spoke once and forever
In the mist, enrobed
in the twilight
She was standing...
~
The Arrival...
I saw her shadow (standing)
in the darkness
Awaiting me like the night
Awaits the day
Standing silent smiling
at my presence
A black candle holds
the only light
Darkness encloses
and the candle seem to expire
In her cold, cold hand
And as a forlorn soul
It will fade away
~
Like a morning in magenta,
the petals fed from the dew.
She held her breath
for a moment,
to pause off the stream.
Still clinging to the vast,
old memories.
(Plunging towards
bereavement faster)
~
This coffin is
beautifully engraved.
Stained by soil,
symbols of death.
All of which are stared upon,
with porcelain eyes it seems.
~
In death entwined,
I could not believe.
But it hangs around my neck.
A soft breeze passed me by,
somewhat warmer for a second.
I knew it was the
coming of spring, thus
our April Ethereal.
~
The day came to an end.
And she had lost in me,
her credence.
Gasping for another breath.
She rose, screaming
at closed doors.
Seductive faint mist forging
through the cracks in the wall.
~
Enduring yet another tale
You tempt me again
With your embrace, so tainted
Within the night you beckon
Cursing me with every glance
~
Embodied in faint vapour.
Wandering through April's fire.
Compelled to grasp and to hold
the one that was you.
~
She has been hiding
a wish in my heart
That flows through
my blood always
In tears for all of eternity.
She turned around and faced me
for the first time.
The emeralds glisten to
mark her presence
Set the enigma ablaze
I'm Searching...I'm Finding...
~
my love is enternal
