This world is full of secret places..both inside and outside of us all; endless shadowy alleyways, begging to be explored.

A soft, flushed jawline; straining, tightening...the hollow pool of a collarbone; inviting...the smooth, proud curve of a shoulder..the silken blade of a hip...the infinitessimal -- yet impossibly bright -- droplet of blood on a lower lip..hypnotic; as a damp flannel scrap of a tonguetip darts out to retrieve it..

Such dark fancies.

Adonais: A poetical name given by Shelley to the poet Keats (1796-1821), on whose untimely death he wrote a monody bearing this name for its title. The name was coined by Shelley probably to hint an analogy between Keat's fate and that of Adonis.

Interesting.


'Adonais', by Robert Smith

he breaks the spell;
still young, and words from
out this dream of life, and leaves us,
sleeping stone rack
lying consumed by
phantom pains
and displays of greed..
he slips from out this shadowland,
and pain, where heads grow soft and grey,
and age destroys all hope
and spirits crush the men
and hide away..

the wordless watch the soft sky smile,
and breathless, hear the low wind sigh;
what death will join
no more let love divide..

"dream yourself awake", he calls;
"an eternity awaits us all,
open your eyes and be with me
be with me..."

he breaks the chains;
so young, dispells
the hateful shades
of treacherous time,
leaves us sleeping,
tortured mute;
devoured by ghosts,
and dreams of life..

slips through ties
and dust to be, the world
we dream -- he lives, apart;
but everything we feel,
the young and beautiful
and brave of heart..

the wordless watch the soft sky smile,
and breathless, hear the low wind sigh;
what death will join,
no more let love divide..

"dream yourself awake",he calls
"an eternity awaits us all;
open your eyes and be with me
be with me..."

"dream yourself awake",he calls
"an eternity awaits us all;
open your eyes and be with me
be with me forever..."
