tiredofvampires Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 They’re still out there, Do you see? For now, Still yet, Undaunted, A rapier slices through the tarry firmament, Walking down caverns of cloud. Diamond needle eye, Tracing invisible grooves, ‘Round and ‘round, Scanning for a melodious sound. Counting pulses, Hopscotching from Vapor to vapor, Asking where. Oh Where? Looking for everywhere. Purple bruises flash forward Against night’s belly, Swishing between a nylon slip And blackened naked space. Unhidden and exposed, But the finding hand wants To touch Something farther still. Groping at a farness Deeper in. Eight hundred million candlepower strong, This is what desperate Callers call for. Calling, Calling. I fear closing my eyes And calling off The search. Link to comment

tiredofvampires Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 Oh thank you Dags! I guess it's worth something if it passes poetic muster for you. Yay, all the "top critics" have reviewed my work, I'm stoked. Link to comment
