she's still, among an overwhelming fragrance
(garden exhales the heat and fumes of flowers)
upright like she was turned to salt or tower,
like antithesis of relaxing on a bench.
beneath the whispering leaves
pale skin aglow with dance of light and shadows,
her thoughts move freely from the depths to shallows,
in quiet resonance she's engulfed by salty wind.
the many-winged one blows through serene view
from luminous sun-scorched cliffs
to sea waves' blue,
creating music that embodies melancholy,
calls for a times so ancient and bucolic
they've been undreamt of for millenia or a few.
dry blossoms fallen and forgotten in her hair - he blows away them not.
let beauty be adorned.
slow time and heart continue in concord
and to her fingers clings familiar scent of blood
