i once met a man who walked along the edge
he never reached the Center the Beginging or the End
He told me he was going places, said the man who walked the Edge
But all i saw him go were in circles round the Earth
Just in one repeated line hed go
And every time hed pass me i urged him closer to my den
It was cold here in my home, but my heart was warm and if he could reach it it would be his
He almost left it once
He took a step off his precious edge, his forever line
And took my hand
And made me smile for the first time
But he realized what hed done..as he felt the changes of his fate
He stepped back onto the Edge, away from me
Away from everyone
And everything he saw, he saw before.
When he passed by my home again i was gone
I had moved on with life
Like he never could.
I looked beauty in her eyes
When no one else would notice them
And she cried for me.
Her tears solidified into crystals and fell into my hand.
I watched as they changed color in my palm
Red blue and gold tear drops
I just stared at them my mind complacent yet completely drawn to every emotion clinging to beauty’s hair.
When Beauty spoke I listened
Her brows were furrowed her face lost in a deep mist of rage that captivated me
Her passion was endless
And I was drawn to her voice that grew warm and soft as I spoke back to her
Beauty was in awe of me
I still cannot remember why
But I remember her lips perfect in their lusterus allure forming into tight pale pink O
Then beauty smiled at me for the first time
And the world went quiet
I could hear only beauty’s breathing
I Could not feel anything on this earth
So I caressed the crystals in my hand to make sure I was still human
And I looked at beauty , all of her and was lost in her light
For beauty glowed, her skin pale silver
I became so entranced I reached out and softly touched her cheek
She felt like silk
And the pain my body had been reduced to vanished.
Then beauty sang
I have never heard such a beautiful song in all my young years
It was an angels cry
The sweetest form of lullaby
And the dark caverns of my mind collapsed
And I was whole again
My eyes opened and I could see clear for those moments
That is when I loved her.
Beauty knew this
And I think that is why she left me.
As she walked away into the dawn
The world became loud again
The peace was broken
Rain fell harsh onto my face in the form of a thousand needle pricks
My body was wracked with its old ache
And dark rose from its depths and blackened my mind, my soul
My eyes became closed
And I was empty
But then I remembered in my hand
Her tear drop crystals
Red Blue and Gold.
I had touched her
And for that she gave me the ultimate gift
Of not forgetting her image.
