Water born

By Sin

oceans collect in my veins
the ebb and flow of eternity tucked inside a kiss
the moon, a bitter mistress
that no longer holds sway over these tides
crumbles in an eclipse of starbursts
as russet hues drift
across breaking cresents of midnight
clouds collecting upon my lashes
as sand fingers catch foamy waves
before releasing their turbulance
back into the night
this gush of free flowing emotion
leaves me empty
and i settle back into the calm
of this hushed serenity

    "Clouds collecting upon my lashes" I really got caught up in that line. Not sure why. I loved the images it, really this whole thing, brings out. Hey, all I can do is echo the hatter, and agree with mrs depressant. Beautiful, sugar.
