Originalmente Escrito por jaguey "There are two gates of sleep, one of which it is held is made of horn and by it
real ghosts have easy egress; the other shining fashioned of gleaming white
ivory, but deceptive are the visions the underworld sends that way to the
light." ~Virgil
And such is the waking dream I live,
my ghosts are the breath the darkness gives
to find me, lead me,
sleepless into memory and prophecy
to wander my own abyss;
tempered blackness
always open,
a nightmare broken...
-jaguey- | Simply marvelous!!! but I am partcial to your poetry...this has exceeded any of the ones I have read...
XOXOXOXOXOX | Thank you so much, Lupita, I like this one myself also. Sometimes the words just come without too much effort and this one was like that. FYI, this is the original version, the Spanish one posted in Gothic poems is my translation, both for the Virgil portion and for my own poem. Thanks for reading me, hugz and kissez,
