Love Asleep

WL Schuett

The longing again 

showed up in 

visceral force .

Quiet as a shadow.

Thunder through my eyes .

A story lost 

worth telling.

 

Warm wine 

in the summer market .

Sunstains and 

purple shadows.

Red trellis roses

on the quick .

 

A galloping white horse .

A ladder over a wall 

of carvings. 

A bridge to a 

morning duel .

 

Chains on the prisoners

locks on love asleep .

Souless mercy ignites 

the bonfires of yearning .

 

Homemade shutters

capture the mirrors cry . 

A pledge to a broken God . 

With loves protection lost 

it's the end of 

the Starlight .

    With your wonderful words I am sure the Starlight will be with you again and its light will shine on your life.

    Very intrigued by the artwork, can see so much in it the more I look at it.

    Good to see you back WL.

    A love story filled with romance, struggle, and fight. When all is over, longing is what left deep inside to memorize the lost.
    Through the dark branches, we still see the light.
    Such a remarkable writing with a stunning paint as always.
