the songed



the songed

There in the darkened hallways they perilously met singing sacred silent songs
of previous generations, two young girls taking upon their thin backs the lashed
drives of forebearers long gone to carry the sources of ALL to even one OTHER in
perfectly prescribed delivery, their gestures choreographed in drama, each soft
speaking hand sensuously silkily preserving the gentle gestures, passion
pounding without limit, lifting their budding breasts as they clasped each other
in final tight tear-filled parting and hurried off, melting the cold night
leaving small singed footprints on cobbled stones as the only sign of their
inherent mission in the dim weak fire drained dawn that follows forever
listening to catch a single molten note.

  2. Pearl, I like the links that are suggested in your word choices, from "singing sacred silent songs" to "singed" to "signs".

  6. You sang my up and you sang me down. Where do these feelings and images come from I wonder? I follow in light pursuit.

  14. Hi...Thanks for stopping by my blog :-). Feel free to pass on the information about Wikimedia Commons. I would assume that one of Wikimedia's key mission statements is to create a large database of free-to-access photography and sketches. The more individuals who use (or at least know about) their site, the closer Wiki is to achieving its goals :-).
