Brown sinews
with subtle ways--
a silent pull
and a guarded ease.
Your eyes betray your confidence.
Not shy, but close-lipped,
you
spark a rich glow
in any room you walk into.
I flutter lashes
and butterflies,
my shyness present, but offset
by the glue
holding my eyes on yours.
Do the dance with me, then--
let's entangle limbs and souls,
just for a night,
and uncover
our subtleties.
Lead me
fill me
unearth me.
I want your ways
your sinews
and all your being
to envelop me.
This poem was written about a brief romance between earth signs...which I didn't realize at the time I wrote it. But it sure fits, doesn't it? And boy did that guy break up with me in the most Capricorn way...but that's another story

The Darkest Eclipse
Eclipse of darkness; an entity that creeps in every few decades, to steal the memories of the enlightened ones. These people were called The Chosen Ones. They were extraordinary people, with divine destiny's. They each possessed memories so powerful, that they could change the fabric of existence. The god of death could not have that, so it would alter the universe by creating a being, that was not good, nor evil, but had a duty embedded into its very essence.
