Eden

Golden is the silence of the dawn
Silver are the beams of moonlit dusk
Jaded shades of shadow stretch and yawn
Wrap themselves amidst the heady musk

And deep within the tresses of the trees
Shivers still a feeling soft and strong
Conquers me, intrinsic melodies
Destroying all my sense of good and wrong

Propriety and modesty are lost
Lost to me in waves of crushing peace
Yet part of me still begs to count the cost
As I am swift consumed by bold caprice

And golden is the light above his head
Silver are the words he softly sighed
Jaded curses grip and press in dread
Forbidden secrets tell how I have died

Author notes

Some things are better left unsaid..... and yet how oft they burn to touch the tongue.

    Ah, a rhymer...and an excellent one you are. You commented on one of mine saying the rhymes were not forced...well, same to ya! Death is not an easy subject, but you have a way with it that is poignant and beautiful. Not many can do that.

    You are special in your writing and this one proves that.
