Green darkness

The river carries strings of foam
torn from my brides veil

in the forest room
enclosed by our shivering
I embrace your lost ornaments

the distant brink is green as from a darkness
like our drink of wooden wine

will you wipe aside the shadows
and uncover a face?

but no longer can I catch a glimpse of me
in your eyes

I am vague oblivion
like our emptied glass
sinking in the water

Wow--very deep, and emotional. I love this!! My favourite part:

but no longer can I catch a glimpse of me
in your eyes

I am vague oblivion
like our emptied glass
sinking in the water

BRAVO

"but no longer can I catch a glimpse of me
in your eyes"
those lines..............!
devastatingly sad & beautiful at the same time,
((((Almost shivering with the intensity of those words...)))))
this is incredable!
