Silence Of Sound Cry {Ottava Rima}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jan 2, 2007


Twilight displayed through open glass,
Darkness envelopes the silence of night,
A ribbon of sound caress and by pass,
As glittering diamond thoughts are clear and bright.
A shiver pierces emerald eyes of brass,
This golden porcelain smile is cracked and white.
Through the darkness, a porcelain smile dies,
As emerald eyes and silence of sound cry.
