At the Feet of Love

Aug 24, 2008

3. DIAMONDS

lead me along a garden path
the smell of
forbidden fruits
holding my breath

the gods gaze on
undisturbed
touching upon boundaries
ripped to shreds

skin against dust
the courtyard was cold
darkness offering
no defence

welcoming submission
asking forgiveness
at the feet
of love

I tried
kneeling before Him

sinking into the pool
of twenty-six waxing candles
burning down
black stems dead

chlorine stings
the twenty-six thousand
salty tears I tried
to wash away

drowning in the
taste of bitter sweet
love hate memories
and words

staining angel eyes red
collapsing life hanging
by a single thread
of a silken spider’s web

Simply beautiful. Just a bit dark but it’s still nice.

I really like your writing. HOwever, you may wish to consider changing your background. The black background makes it difficult to read your lovely writing.
also please feel free to ck out my wriingts

I discovered your site last night, I read and experienced each and every poem with my heart and sole until my eyes could no longer take the strain and my soul was saturated beyond compare.

You brought the breath of the one that fills every conceivable part of my being to my doorstep. Yes, I realize it is probably circumstantial, but never the less, I am truly grateful for the privilege.
