My Heart Is Gold, My Hands Are Cold

by Odimer   Aug 25, 2017


My heart is filled with tiredness
like a silk canvas.
With each kiss like the hourglass
his love leads me to exile.
And, lo, all that remains
a single drop of gold conducting a choir of ghosts.

    A haunting write, though short there is tinge of sadness
    as well as passion but in a very blue way. From start to end every
    line is so descriptive and moving and it also brings an image of a harp
    to my mind. Like a golden harp which waits for those fingers to touch
    her strings, it does and then she has to wait for a very long
    time…

    The title itself beckons the reader to come in and read this piece
    and it has that medieval atmosphere…beautifully sad and
    haunting.
