Cast with expressions of black on white
Roughly carven from stone
Existing, but only just slight

Today was Autumn
And I lingered there
In the drifting sea of color
But even then, I watched you stare
As you smiled to another…

And I sat upon a throne of marble
Braiding the strands of time
As the snow kissed your lips
Silently knowing, that you cannot be mine..

Silently Knowing

I see your face
Cast with expressions of black on white
Roughly carven from stone
Existing, but only just slight

Today was Autumn
And I lingered there
In the drifting sea of color
But even then, I watched you stare
As you smiled to another…

And I sat upon a throne of marble
Braiding the strands of time
As the snow kissed your lips
Silently knowing, that you cannot be mine..

Definitely something I can connect with...

Awesome imagery though.
Fav lines:
"Today was Autumn
And I lingered there
In the drifting sea of color"

Just stuck in my head, because I doubly interpreted it. I thought of the obvious; autumn, so falling leaves, or the "drifting sea of color". Then again, the drifting aimlessness of your cause got me too; Autumn always seems to be the time when everything falls apart...

Wonderfully put together. The imagery is amazing
and artfully vivid for the reader's eye:

I see your face
Cast with expressions of black on white
Roughly carven from stone
Existing, but only just slight

The whole piece is wrought with great metaphors, but
this one appealed to me the most.
Keep up the excellent writing!
