Literature Text


Spun across lakes of ebony,
midnight stars reflect visions of scathing icicles
caught in the flimsy silk of cobweb dreams draping
from the lanterns of her deepest desires.

And she slips in and out of grace.

Stumbling out of the fire,
she tentatively ballroom dances with frosty ghosts
in time to a requiem of refuge composed by broken reveries.
And the music of creaking wooden floors croon poems of
winter kisses against scars etched into charred flesh.

And then she falls.

I love the imagery here--so dark and delicate in the first part and sharp and cold in the second. 
And the little add-ons in italics--totally something I would do. Well done, dear.
