as the evening withdraws
Posted: February 16th, 2010, 2:01 pm
as the evening withdraws into twilight and candles
burning in the eve of night
lighting the pathways and corridors
with the strangeness of odours
and the perfume of a nightly escapade
as a twilight twilling and weaving
the possible entrances of one's birth
and escape
as an evening garnishes each
plate with possible items
for the choosing
as night falls gently around my skin
as midnight surrounds
and breaking in
each of us incurably within
silently walking through shadows
as a maze unto a star filled sky
burning in the eve of night
lighting the pathways and corridors
with the strangeness of odours
and the perfume of a nightly escapade
as a twilight twilling and weaving
the possible entrances of one's birth
and escape
as an evening garnishes each
plate with possible items
for the choosing
as night falls gently around my skin
as midnight surrounds
and breaking in
each of us incurably within
silently walking through shadows
as a maze unto a star filled sky
