Edge of Silence
You said moonlight is liquid
And now I believe and now I see
How it penetrates through
narrow crevices
It flows and flows, filling all thoughts
Icy deserts, kilometers of silence
The immense burden of
boundless freedom
Zippers zipped across the tarpaulin sky
And weak shoots pulsate in the
damp ground
I'm looking for you to hide from the
cruel wind
To win you back from cold and dark
The candle flame goes out,
but I believe in your immortality
And I will take you away from the
icy deserts
I don't want you to be alone
Immobile, helpless in these
gloomy halls,
Among the strange and
creaks and rustles
Among the alien cold, air currents
I came to steal your body from them
Reluctantly, but stubborn arrows are
moving backwards
I keep my secret, and who will believe me
But I know you’re sleeping,
you’re just sleeping too deeply
And I sneak in the dark, ignoring the
fits of fear
In endlessly cold, empty corridors
Listening tensely,
getting cold and shuddering,
Pressing against the wall at the
slightest rustle
I'll blow these walls down,
I'll break open all the doors
Having overcome all barriers,
defeating all obstacles.
I'm stronger than the cold,
you'll come back - I believe
From where there is no return
Lost in the dark depths of
mirrored surfaces
You call me through the oceans of the
full moon
A thin thread breaks,
but I believe in your immortality
And I will find you even on that
Edge of Silence ...
And now I believe and now I see
How it penetrates through
narrow crevices
It flows and flows, filling all thoughts
Icy deserts, kilometers of silence
The immense burden of
boundless freedom
Zippers zipped across the tarpaulin sky
And weak shoots pulsate in the
damp ground
I'm looking for you to hide from the
cruel wind
To win you back from cold and dark
The candle flame goes out,
but I believe in your immortality
And I will take you away from the
icy deserts
I don't want you to be alone
Immobile, helpless in these
gloomy halls,
Among the strange and
creaks and rustles
Among the alien cold, air currents
I came to steal your body from them
Reluctantly, but stubborn arrows are
moving backwards
I keep my secret, and who will believe me
But I know you’re sleeping,
you’re just sleeping too deeply
And I sneak in the dark, ignoring the
fits of fear
In endlessly cold, empty corridors
Listening tensely,

Boo this is an excellent piece, you really elevated the bar by posting this. Dark love is truer to form than any thing else in this universe, just think of how many love triangles invaded Eden. Super tight Boo

Dear K,
Like a dream that you want to wake from but can’t until you find the captured hero. What I relate to in this piece is its sense of alone-ness. You won’t rest until things are resolved because true love, no matter how dark is so real. That’s how I seem to be taking in this write. Wonderfully written with great development and suspense. I so appreciate the dedication and determination to bring back that love from the brink of the abyss. Epic write. H🌷

Bravissima, Kristina❣❣ You illustrate so well the persistence of true love in this piece and the courage that it takes to pursue this elusive emotion even across the precipice of death. A hauntingly romantic masterpiece.

Your abilities are growing, your voice grows in its calm strength, your exploration of imbuing the environment with soulful presence, fluidity of metaphor, proportion and depth in lovely dimensions.

Kristina, this is pretty amazing. There's like a sense of spirituality underneath it all.
That last stanza is brilliant, summarizing what many of us try to find.
Bravo.

Thanks Poetspeak that is a really amazing comment and one that no doubt I would have some awesomely sarcastic and wonderful response for normally lol but sadly it has been a really hard day for me personally. So the strength part is missing. You know how much fervor I normally have and I absolutely love chills, potent, and mind bending.... I BIG LIKE your comment. It cheered me up a little. 💖
