xLx's blog: "Balloons"

Cherished heap, buried, warm

love lies swaddled upon the bed

Silky mane loose, streaked with history

exposing the glory hers beneath

Beloved face, swaddled tightly

covers anchored, gracful ruby hooks

Extend from slender elfin hand

Carmine nails reflect the dawn

Betrayals of uncaring sun

Delicate form adrift in tender dreams

love lies wrapped in quiet repose

Gentle warrior, love's enemy lost

relation beyond pale ghost's light

Ever will I love this sprite, here and gone

Comedy lies smoking in my mind

Hope has leapt, ground rushes forth

Simmering desire, chains of loss

Ever losing, ever found

Ever seeking, iron spirit, winsome sprite

Hot, warm and cold, not to be

Search for the star that bears to the north

Friends and life, unknown lands

Eternal journey, love to be

Courage shines from dark eyes, Vodka

lingers on garnet lips, Ever lost, ever

Shining, Home celebrates her Presence

ever present, ever known

Morpheus cradles her in welcome embrace

Found she is, beloved creature, lost

released, fled, rebound

Joy unbounded, fences gone

Heart alight, enflamed by gentle fire

Beloved wanderer, destiny unsure

Sensual banquet, lip-licking fate

Deire seeks to hold, but combat already lost

morning rises, balloons that escape.
