Jane Elizabeth

Jane Elizabeth


You came to me
dressed in light and love
dressed in my ache

Joy and sorrow lay together
in gentle repose
along your delicate lines

each drift a wound
each path a story
each scar

a thing of beauty
 
You kissed me

my mouth trembled
under your tender grace

my skin
quivered at your touch

as you spun me into gold.

felt nuance in the glow

captivating and melancholy the glades of autumn are here rising like the creeks in turbid browns sluicing in the throats of red iron and singing the dark lonely dirge so wonderful to drown in the ethereal element of its voice swirling around empassioned soul bitter cacaphony smitten I think you have replace Atwood as my favourite authoress this year
