Your Poem...

Mystic shades
Of green and blue
Interspersed with vermilion,
Laced with brocade
As if murals
In ancient Babylon
Is how I see
Your gilded words
Stretched taut
On the strings
Of your ephemeral thoughts;
At once arresting, piercing
A stake through my heart.

very vivid poem... feel of silk and velvet.. tapestry and intrigue. ;-)

loved the metaphorical representation for 'her words' themselves! very interesting and full of ancient mystery :)
