Array ( [sid] => 108363 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The stars beneath the sea. [time] => 2005-10-24 14:07:37 [hometext] => ^_^ always, abraham [bodytext] => I cannot leave, to let fall upon the dust and shadow of my heart, his memory.
His laughter is the hollow night riding across the plains.
I cannot put him out. I cannot strip him lash him braid his hair.
His tears are the fires of my breath, I breathe and I am consumed.

I cannot find in my heart, the still and sudden flutters that steal my love from me.

I cannot find, in these words, the violent shaken stole that hangs in sobs across my chest.

It is too great a risk, my love, that I might love.

I am damned to a world that will not understand.

In all the puzzles of your heart, I am the reflection of yourself.

I am the darkness lingering over the morning bay, the light providing the shadows of the moon, and you will never understand.

I find her hand. I find her fingers. I find a flower to kiss her knuckles whole.
I press my temple to her breast and rest upon the sounding of her heart.

I lift her. Her hips are the stars beneath the sea. I take her arms. Her hair is silence falling over broken mountains. She is beautiful.

But I cannot find my love for her. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 32 [informant] => iodinelove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 11 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I cannot put him out. I cannot strip him lash him braid his hair.
His tears are the fires of my breath, I breathe and I am consumed.
