Skipping Stones

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skipping stones across the still quite waters 

While as enclosed within these submerged thoughts....

Pondering this blanket of fogful mist alongst the path, have I tread and beared

As in time as in life as of recent days

Allowing shadows their moments somehow, someway?!

Lost amid the backwards brush of a translations, understanding....

Interpretations tattood upon my heart like an inverted crossing

Blood drenched quills soaked in cardinal red

Etched upon the caverns walls of what should have been said

These words this verse a world and then!?  

Skipping stones from my very own Souls bleeding wounds 

In gushing currents caught to seep through this they rent

Poisoned dreams; saturated walls aneath ripplings effects....

Rising dunes across quicksand deserts born in the mires; deeper and deeper

Into sedations daze as the storm clouds quickly gather above

Translations from these interpretations of, so called love?!

But how could this be and why I ask myself again

As the undertow of riptides begin to draw them in; further, into their sin...

Blood atop the pages to be extracted this breath of life

Life, that I have longed to embrace; to present

Spilled until its love had morphed into something bent!? 

Stepping back from the edge now, upon this mountains cliff

The valley below amid chasteless darkness beckoning unto my Spirit

Calling from beyond; enticing tongues soaked in the stillness of, cortege red....
