Tantalizing
Tantalus
Dragon-backed ridges
Under indigo
And ice
Tantalus
Dragon-backed ridges
Under indigo
And ice
I stop here
Often
To Wonder
To be
Tantalized
I stop here
Often
To Wonder
To be
Tantalized
The day was long
Night comes on
To fitful
Sleep go I
Like a dancer
In a deadly waltz
With blackness
So that its setting
In all its glory
Becomes the tale
Places where
I always find
The colour
I’ve been missing
Clouds
And mountains
Mingle
In a waning light
The camera records
As a monochrome
The world settles into an armchair
At the end of a long day
Breathes a sigh
Takes a long draw from the wineglass
And lets the worries drift away
