�tudes In Darkness ( Refrains in Black )

Melodies. Tones. Darkly spun �tudes in the embrace of your songs meant to rest us there below,
Down in your parched, sad, lesser refrains, where it is elements of your heathen darknesses grow,

Housed in fevered bellies, song amplitudes met in the church of your crucifix enshrined, uncrossed,
Where a mist long in the glens of our beings, intersecting, traps us, ensnares us in your winter like frost,

We of haloes, dark golden, encircling, we of wreaths of viney promise, we who were born to lay back -
On our faces in the rain, steal away once again, �tudes in darkness, to be with ye in your refrains in black.

Thom Douglas Carlisle ( Irish Tommy Moran ) - Ireland

I like this, there is a great solemnness about this, it causes one to stop and reflect upon their own mortality.

Shel,

Thank ye for liking this. It was just an exercise and not really meant to affect the darker sides of others. Only to promote the poetic arts.

Be well,

That was awesome to read; kind of spooky but in a good way.

Thank ye, tulip2633. I get your meaning of spooky. I grasp the same, darlin'.

Tul, you're so very pure and kind.
