Natasha Ashwe

I trust the night
I trust the stars that shine
I trust the moon
I know its love’s divine
...

It’s a rock song and I won’t let you in it
Step away from my maelstrom
Bits of torn metal shred me to bits to submit
My soul to the earsplitting blast of drums
...

I know of a beautiful flower
With a sense beguiling fragrance
Where nectar like honey flows
With a sting
...

He sucks out my brain when he speaks
And I'd like to cup his in a glass
Watch it monkey dance like mine
My fellow gemini
...

I love to watch you
My eyes become moths drawn by a flame
And you flicker in directions
That are fingers and thumbs on a guitar that’s playing
...

To soar up to the mountains of the heaven's shimmering storm foils
Our minds like weightless carriages tear through light, lift us beyond
Where the mirrors part and shadow and fire twist in and out of voids
And chasms lay open wide the secrets of those once distant apparitions
...

Do you do darkness?

Do you close your eyes to breath in the substance of
...

[musing on life and existence when Kitty died]

Parallel lines,
Each of us,
...

I watched a moon show last night
Somehow it made everything al'right
The sky was emptying down universe in its amazing way
An expanding concave surface breaching billions of galaxies far away
...

His jaw
Was clean and lean
And colors reflected twice as sharply
Amongst the flickering glints
...

Was winding back on the coil
Again
So I stopped
Now I’m reaching out to the void to feel … yes …good …
...

Let's say a prayer for him

Celebrate tears not the death of a dream
...

Those knuckles,
On that steering wheel,
In that car,
Across the street,
...

Lost in the days’ powers
I devour nameless hours
Though somewhere inside me the substance of your absence keep thoughts of you awake
Now I know what it means to wander
...

Open the folds; reveal
A love no one can steal
The fire of my soul
The man that makes me whole,
...

Where are my footsteps
leading me?
I watch them from a
world above me
...

[dreaming with paper planes and ribbons of his thoughts]

You are here,
In the soul parking space that had been strictly mine,
...

[For pet lovers everywhere. Simple words for smiley thoughts]

Day and night, near and far:
They ponder how wonderfully amazing we are
...

You give me kisses
To wear like diamonds;
'Forever...'
You take my breath
...

[A burst of inspiration, and perhaps borderline channeling - from a near or far galaxy existing simultaneous to earth time - for me.
Each verse is a picture book/ emotive trigger/ delicious sentence to write/read.
At the end I decided upon the enchantress Unii Fal'Enai - a character in my fantasy novel, as a likely speaker of them for past/future.
Yet the voice is bizzarely, entirely mine *big grin*]
