Tuesday, August 12
Have found new word that I love:
Requiescat : a prayer for the repose of the souls of the dead
Know it has ugly definition. Cannot pronounce it though.
Illusions
Evanescent feelings swell and effervesce
They rise and fall
while seeking out the pathways through my soul.
They find the mirrored images of manufactured feelings,
reflections from a hidden heart
grown cold beneath lost and shadowed places of my inner life.
They feed upon the fancies of remembered things
that live beyond the light
They glide and swirl within in everlasting want,
until at last they find the rock-hard places where the mirror breaks
and fantasies disintegrate.
And from the white-hot pain of death,
my heart emerges through the tears,
irrevocably searching for the light.
