We Drowned Beneath the Winter Sky
by Alastre ZidlerMy sweet companion -
Driven by fate to take me!
Our time spattered away
Into the greying snow,
Red as a valiant heart,
As a weeping wound.
Oh, If there were hammers
Designed to dash away
The emotional
Rather than the physical!
Clinging to you
With reckless abandon,
Emaciated, driven by fate,
So much was sacrificed
For this drowning embrace,
So much I gave up
For a chance to love you,
A chance to share
Your sweet breath
In shackles, descending
To the void of this
Fathomless ocean bed. 05/18/2003 Posted on 05/18/2003

| Posted by Alex Smyth on 05/20/03 at 04:41 AM "Driven by fate to take me" may be my favorite line. Do I detect a hint of self deprecation? Quite refreshing to see a great depth of expression balanced just shy of dramatic overload! Yep, this library is definately bookmarked... |

I've let go just in time, or that ocean might have been my grave as well. Your imager is so touchable, like an excellent movie where the view is unable to maintain any aesthetic distance. |
