Eternally Bound Sadness, A weariness that pierces the bone, Catharsis, I bleed away the pain, Try to keep from going insane… Sorrow deep in the marrow of my bones, Like the ring on my finger, I am eternally bound… Your whispers wash over me, And the shadow of the moon Covers me in sweet darkness, I sink into the softness of the night, Melancholy afflicts me, And I see rainbows in the sea, Unsettling waves turns them to rings, Floating gently on the sea, Like me, Like me…

Reindeer,
So beautiful
"Your whispers wash over me,
And the shadow of the moon
Covers me in sweet darkness,
I sink into the softness of the night,

Melancholy afflicts me,
And I see rainbows in the sea,
Unsettling waves turns them to rings,
Floating gently on the sea,
Like me,
Like me… "

The beautiful colors of the rainbow are a reflection of sunbeams through droplets of rain... like a smile sparkling through tears. After this darkened sky - even if it has inspired an exquisite poem - a glorious rainbow is what I wish for you, dearest Reindeer.

WOW...your darkness is something! Ok, so what part of your soul did you carve this from? Just ---sounds so love/hate and damned if you do...damned if you don't. Your verse is quite captivating!
