Poem of the Week ~10/5/04 ~ crystalcallas

[RareForm]

It was definitely a very hard choice for POTW this week, after some heavy heavy contemplation, the choice is none other than crystalcallas...her work has always been astounding...she is definitely deserving...

Congrats to ya crystalcallas!

And here it is..............

Loves Relic
an ode to unrequited love

a stolen glance, a wayward kiss
my heart still bleeds......a wound
i gather strength from memories
small clarities at noon
a fool, i go on letting none abate
despite its leaving so soon

~
but then.....my love, where are the smiles
that once burst from our souls?
there are no more to flaunt and beguile
the pretty masks to lose control

~
so enjoy the wetness of love and youth
of fool's desire ; and hearts of gold ;
the years will soon smooth the rough
when perhaps we all grow old

~
so tearfully i speak the last
like scathing glass that fades ;
no more red left in a heart so sweet
my eyes burn with sad, silent rage

~
the rigid line of faith succumbs
twists contorted and askew
i will myself to keep on and move
before colors permanently change hue

~
in time i shall soon harvest
my hearts wine so full of wrath
i will bless it drop by drop
in my own crimson barbed cup
~

chalice emblazoned with fire
and so painstakingly carved
once upon a young time
by my loving once starved
