Silken Threads
Soar above me with gossamer wings
Stars, like bullets shine through the silken web
Bleed your sorrow upon me
Unconventional ally, somewhat unaware;
You've become my only solace here.
Silken thread that binds me to this place.
Like Taj.
Immortality reminds me,
Sorrow is the steed of beauty
I am forever entombed in silence;
my legacy but a flicker in place of the flame.
Ablaze is my heart ready to consume.
Beneath kohled lashes;
Knots of saffron, earth and vermillion
Tug at silken threads.
Stars like bullets, gossamer wings;
witness to pleasure, to pain.
Let them know, beneath these lashes,
a woman bleeds.

This was so long ago! I dont think we could even write like that again. Every time I read it, I love it more.
Too bad that book deal fell through hey?
