Floating Into The Abyss : Busto Sonetto

Wrapped in flowers of lost love, her body drifts in aqua, only memories to accompany, her soul  carries the weight in quanta, yearning for peace in the sky above. Red is the colour of blood and of water, glistening under the boulders, shoving her body subtly, flower petals ‘neath her smoulder, thorns like dagger ready to slaughter. But tis her final journey of bliss, departing from all the desires, and putting off her soul’s  fires, she floats into the abyss.

The Shadow Disappears…………..

Trailing red blood on white snow,

a shadow walks beside the pine tree rows,

faceless, spiritless, mass of bones,

roams from the realm unknown,

a shrill, chilling song it cries,

strong echoes that break the ice,

no footprints left after,

limping forward and faster,

away from all the worldly  fears,

as the past draws near,

the shadow disappears........

One Day Soon : Trijan Refrain

                        Brooke Shaden Photography

I wish one day soon,

I fly above the black space,

to touch my beloved moon,

to feel his cold touch and pace,

and relive this life once more,

under moon’s gentle core,

and relive this life,

and relive this life,

I wish one day, his love pours.

I wish one day soon,

I leave my human form,

and meet my beloved moon,

together with him I’ll roam,

to places far off from earth,

in a realm away from death and birth,

to places far off,

to places far off,

I wish one day, these wishes unearth.

I wish one day soon,

the light shines upon,

glowing my icy moon,

stars smile on and on,

with love and delight.

Light burning upright,

with love,

with love,

I wish one day, everything is bright.

Pixie of My Garden

Sprinkle, sprinkle,

dust of happiness,

twinkle , twinkle,

upon my heart,

shine, shine,

over the horizon

sing, sing,

fine verses,

blossom ,blossom,

in my life,

oh! pixie of my garden.

Lie To Me : Rondine

Lie to me about beautiful things,

of green sea, of winter land,

of a fairy’s magical wand,

of olive trees in jungle within,

of unforgettable memorable spring,

holding hands in hands,

lie to me.

Flying on ethereal wings,

journeying across the sands,

crossing the time’s strands,

where an angel sings,

lie to me.

Night’s Shrouds: Huitain

When sun sinks down and ocean drinks light,

dark night rises covering the town.

Creatures of night, out for a flight,

feeding on lost souls trotting down.

Ripped pieces loiter on ground,

dissolve into darkness of clouds,

locked in dungeons, never to be found,

 night has consumed them under her shrouds.

Painting My Own Sky : Rondeau

http://brookeshaden.com/gallery/?page=2&title=we_are_infinite

I am painting my own sky,

in the shades of black, grey and white.

Cloaked in my pathetic existence,

ghosts of my thoughts dance,

surging above the roof and moving high.

A silent melancholic lullaby,

echoes in the dead valleys and dies,

leaving my bleeding soul hanging on a lance,

painting my own sky.

Birds of dreams are dry,

never wishing to fly.

In this vast expanse,

I roam in trance,

painting my own sky.

God is Walking Beside: Go Vat

When warm summer breeze brushes by,

bees, butterflies happily fly,

remember God is walking beside.

Mighty mountains stand tall,

to atrocities never they fall,

remember God is walking beside.

Sometimes darkness clutters mind,

but , still a speck of  hope we find,

remember God is walking beside.

To enlightenment when we wake,

And when last breath we take,

remember God is walking beside.
