swathed in blue
or
{lapis lazuli}
floating down dream's nocuous river
ignoring the stygian cries
life itself is over
and you've decided to die.
an angel's hand rests upon yours
a haunting elegy plays
there is nothing here anymore
and so you refuse to stay.
crystalline drops of silver
paint your child's eyes
as you step out the doorway
and whisper a hollowed goodbye.
the cerulean hums a lullaby
as the venom settles in
the world dims through your sandpaper eyes
you've lost your voice in a din.
sinking into bottomless lies
there is fire in your lungs
lightning courses through your veins
as you stare at the diamond suns.
salvation illuminates the glacial dark
with its sunshine and turquoise swirls
a dulcet laugh, a whirlwind kiss
and you are lost to the world.
her eyes are the sapphire sea
beckoning your soul
enrapturing and magnificent
and you are almost whole.
like a gentle summer breeze
her hand caresses your cheek
a golden wish wafts by
but you are still weak.
basking in nostalgia
staring at the orange sun
with your lover right beside you
a voice tells you to run.
it was all just a beautiful nightmare
albeit faded in color
her last image is tainted with blood
as she writhes in terror.
a dagger slices through your heart
a bright light shines
you've lost everything
by crossing the line.
floating down dream's nocuous river
ignoring the stygian cries
life itself is over
and so you die.
a/n: Hullo, there. This poem's actually for James Cahill, after the death of his wife. After wanting to write something for his character for a long time, this was what I finally came up with. Ambiguous, I know, but that's what I was aiming for. I'm also thinking of leaving this without an explanation, simply because I'd want you to interpret this any way you like. But if you are still a little confused, then drop by my profile and send me a PM. ;) I won't bite. Besides, I'd really like to have another PM buddy—that'd just be awesome.
On another note, my dear friend Joyce's (Cascading Rainbows) forum, The Madrigals, has rather been dwindling in activity. Therefore, I suggest you peeps check it out 'cause it is off the chain and all that jazz. A lot of awesome people (including myself, lol) hang out there, and it's a place where can pick up a lot of writing tips from your fellow authors. Seriously, it's really good. xD So y'all better check it out. You won't regret it! : )
