Delerium (poem)

[Drui na Samhna]

"Delerium"

Salty hair glued to the brow,
Red eyes roll backwards in gray rings,
Ebon feaathers stretch purple lips,
The rattle in the chest is silent.

Darkness flutters in the pink dawn,
Cold winds hold and pull,
Islands west of the West,
Birds know where the seas are silver.

Blue-black shimmers into creamy flesh,
The eye beholds a thick-thighed youth,
Ruby mouths suck the soul...
But the tapestry is rent asunder.

In bars of bleached bone,
Behind walls of yellow skin,
Curse the love of remembered ecstacy,
The Grave is better than the sickbed.

The images thet are in my mind are powerful. Talk about veils. The veil between sanity and insanity. The veil between life and death all in one powerful poem. I love it!

[Kaya-Nita]

Very chilling and powerful and yet sad too. Good going on this one.
