ECLIPSE
(a Sonnet of betrayal from long ago)
I scan galactic coastlines that reckon,
Stretching endlessly through time warpage thus.
For how your pale crusades lull and beckon,
As I seek parallels in quietus.
While my own floats free near your fingertips
With each passing nano second's death knell,
Doub'ling the length from my scarified hips
Where a flaming phoenix once rose and fell.
There never were past lives serenity,
Since the way I think there are no seashores.
Nor siren song's echo’d meant so for me,
Why ergo I'm drifting further from yours.
And there's no more time for night's passing ships
To distant equators. Make sail! Eclipse!

wow, there is much going on here (and not going on here!)
'Where a flaming phoenix once rose and fell. '
'Nor siren song's echo’d meant so for me,'
'And there's no more time for night's passing ships'
what a potent lament. nice job expressing the betrayal of an unruly sea.

I feel it -
I love that it is in sonnet form - it emphasizes - in that sonnets are generally held as forms for love poems
Excellent writing... and image selection

Aw thank you, Thomcat, I'm glad you could feel it, and yes now that you mention it, the sonnet form is beautifully adept at such presentations! But ohhh, it was wonderful to be able to READ it to you minutes ago, even with my early morning frog-in-the-throat voice!
And thank you once again for the RL honors!

Thank you, moon’s reflection, I’ve missed you.
As for the rest of my words, they have started to congeal into something that I’m going to save and give to you later. So for now, suffice to say that I’m so pleased to have seen you here.

lol i knew i'd love reading you ... i rarely come across someone who is as cryptic as they are telling .. ( lyrically ) ... that is an unusual yet awesome talent .. betrayal has never been described so gracefully .. :)

Why thank you, Devilish, your instinct at a first pick from my ink is impeccable! How you've honored me.
