-Reflection of Solace-

I lost myself in the prose of an empty storm, as my shadow assumed unfamiliar shapes on the cracked walls surrounding me. Golden thorns stretched out from the darkness as if driven by an insatiable hunger. I was unaware of their breath as they became one with my black living image, cast by the light of a solitary dying candle.

The impassionate beauty of words threatened to entreat my soul as I felt loving and deadly arms wrap around me. Your voice burned with deceit and licked at my heart like cold fire, and I heard the Windflower cry in the onset of apathy.

Through the ageless empty window, the feigned decadence of a falling star shone with the irrepressible intent of widows' self-destructive despair, its solitary tear staining graves of those long passed. Your tender arms encircled me; my eyes closed while a curtain of dark feelings gently descened upon me. I could taste lies in your touch, but only after love's defiance had been confirmed with hidden truth unwittingly revealed.

Who is this suicidal used one, victim of amusement's pleasure? A face painted against providence, concealed with such imminent liquid memories as to make all but one understand.

In desperation I tried to find the strength to return a contrived embrace, but failure saw my expression go blank.

I questioned the torn verses before me; photographs rarely catch the unhappy times.

Sometimes I find it really hard to resist explaining these.

Everything means something, of course. Metaphors and symbolism abound... hope you don't mind the roundabout nature of it. =D

Oh, a note about these things- I may have mentioned it before, but generally, when I write in this "style," when I finish I have no intention of revision. With this, as with my other pieces of this fashion, if I were to change a thing the intense personal meaning of it, to me, that is, would be destroyed.

:blahblah: ANYWAYS, I was "inspired" for this one by recent events. Enjoy?
