selfportrait – sonnet

Posted by Author on July 30, 2010 · 6 Comments 

i’m just a bunch of words in sweet disguise,

i live inside the scent of incense burning,

i travel on the wings of dreams that rise

inside that tender second of your yearning

to feel the taste of passion on your tongue…

i’m partly from this world of flesh and feeling

and partly from the one of songs unsung

that wrap your heart within a silent healing…

i am not worth the beauty of your love

for i am just a mist of burning pleasures,

a flame lit by the angels high above

to guide you through the night’s unearthly treasures…

so if you think my soul is what you’re reading,

think twice – it’s just the shadow of its’ bleeding…
