Slumber
By Strataic
Snow Falling on
Blue bells long gone
Meadows upon land
vast
Aching for miles...
Of superficial beings,
Trees
Vegetation
Slow to even tide
Winds
Perfectly
flawed crisp flake
Down on,
An object bound
In open
white.
A fleck of peach
Amidst placid weather
Winter
is forever
...Holding...
Pieces of love
In
decay..
And as the creeps become
Crawlies; come out to play.
They each emerge from its mouth with only peace.
The human remained in silence.

The poets mind is clockwork and quite a strange design really. I say/wrote this because... you stripped the ugliness out of a horrid landscape, and then rewritten it in such a way that it steals my very breath from my beating heart. I cannot believe that I haven't taken the time to read you until now, my apologies. I feel in love with this piece... very beautiful work, sir. Bows-

People call me a 'black metal hippie'...which is true. They can laugh at me all they want. They can call me whatever they want, yet i am both of these things...dark and light. i've gone into the woods and sat so long for so many days, hours and hours with the wilderness growing bold around me, until i reached this place of silence where i was no longer human...a place where i was everything. i've always tried to return to that place but it's so hard in this society...but this poem speaks to me of that and makes me long for it once again. Thank you.

Petals unfolding with a morose romance.. evoked the same horror and tender aching love in me that Poe does... derelict classicism. so elegant.. made me feel vulnerable as i do with my hands and legs bound, my lover's breath on my neck, his kiss on my forehead. the art of succumbing, the ravaged beauty in submission.. I realize this has nothing to do with the context, but it evoked that nostalgia in me.. that need for gifting myself blindly and without hesitation.. Thank you. I found serenity in the somber passage of this.
