not yet the long sleep

glittering dark,
dancing before my eyes...
closed everything I see,
shadowed!
in roaring silence I hear...
falling of a feather,
soundless...
a hush!!
my lover's touch..
bitter, life's bile.
sweet, love's taste.
shadows of tomorrow
darken the path of yesterday.
what was,
will never be what is.
Stands before my eyes, open...
MY LIFE...
