Softer Shades

Softer Shades

A Poem by Perdition

So where have those softer eyes been hiding, black shades, spearing gods of mind, torn wings on life-scented leaves, sweetly gathering, a ship of twilight and moon's ghost where you bathe. I think of you in waves, born from the undercurrent, days so far from linen and vastly asleep wrapped in summer''s tint, you are the bridge beneath the stone, the color that falls from words, too lost for green-silver creatures, too young to understand the heritage of a breeze, go and forest your wounds, come back tomorrow, tomorrow you’ll find me, banned and buried with only these mountains and old winters to recall

Oh, Perdition, in dealing with a new friend, I though of what you once wisely answered after I made a personal request, you said, "Do you really want to take that chance?"
Gosh, the wisest words! I've avoided much negativity with those words. Thanks, friend.
This writing, Softer Shades, attracted me as soon as I jetted here to check out what's currently going on with you.
As always, you have such smooth style, class and finesse, such a poet. oh my, and SRV too.
