drenched

The night is terraced by empty houses,
Guttered by feathers
Of a windswept sonnet.

Pillowed on the whispering ashes,
My heart dwells in embers
Curled on the cold slab hearthstones.
Shipwrecks ferry fire across continents.

It wasn�t pearls we
Swallowed to light our souls,
But furniture dust &
Photo-shopped memories
Of the glint from vases which
Housed putrid water
After flowers had died.

Scent of rain in your hair
Colours my breath with redemption,
You crush my burning lips as ashes.

We�ll gaze through Siruvani waterfall
At any gap in the frisky foam
& see there�..
The first footprint of the sun.

even the dystopian apocalypse.. bloom as a booming black beauty poetic dusts in your verses.. & in the each godparticling us you carve in within.. is the eternity of Love afloat as stardusts .. I feel you this Us.. in the elemental airs & waters & earthen skins & in those beyondness traverse.. as gushing streams of micronic light & breaths & sprinkling dots .. this feverishfresh romantic waterfalling Siruvani haze.. awwe diolch yn fawr o gariad;) for the Siruvani ref. & connect in der. .. it's one of world's most sweetest natural water source blessing us.. the title is an instant draw, in its overwhelmingness! write on shine on doo.. Love Ev xx:)
