Ashes...

        Stones they were not,diamonds rather
        and blindfolded,but still the dull sheen
        tore my heart...

        Teardrops scalding away her salty skin
        It was still the smile which i saw
        and the same tragic smile bled in my heart....

        Cool calculated moves of the player
        replaced the zealous quirkiness of the lover...
        and the zeal shone in my heart....

        The chained melody screaming to fly
        begging the rainbow to be a lilltle low
        Alas the rainbow wudnt dream of so...
        ant it was still the rainbow which
        echoes in my heart...

        The dreams of oblivion!!!!
        The ashes of "that"song
        Are right here infront of me
        The echoes of silence,
        The scarred heart
        Today I drown them in the sea.....

  9. What a lush and sensual poem! Could almost taste that saltiness--I love that phrase of begging the rainbow to be a little low--so clever :-)
