eye in the sky
why do you whimper
have you lost
your ~piece of sun~
stir the tides
so we can feel
the movement of water
upon our feet and remember
that warmth doesn't always
come from flames
long are the nights
where you wrangle with
the corks of messages
in a bottle, so many
corks sealing little rivers
sit with me and tell of
stories from the days
of starlight and fires
by the lake, we will laugh
seeds, we can cry music
and i will embrace your
reflection

Next: doors open, we walk

cold, dank intentions,
run the length of dull, echoing halls
whilst candles, long since snuffed,
sit atop stone mantels, unable to dance

In the house of hollow words
where plastic, is mistaken for love,
the walls crumble in their straining
against hidden agendas

and I, join fellow builders of thrones, who
grow tired of sleep, and open their eyes
and when the oaken doors open,
we walk out, into the sun

~ atop stone mantels

It took me forever to find this section of the site (I'm a little slow :) ) Anyway, I hope I'm posting this right. Last thing I read was "atop stone mantels" If I'm doing it wrong, slap me in the back of the head...

half-empty urns
rest
[i]atop stone mantels.[/i]

half-empty souls
dust
around them - carefully,
as if dust in a jar is sacred,
dust on a mantel - sacrilegious.

dust is dust,
regardless of where it rests.

*where it rests
