staring into the sun <br />white light <br />pure essence <br />the burning love <br />hypnotic fare <br />resolute dawn of darkness <br />the eyes succumb <br />thirst for pure water <br />to chill the warm blood <br />pumping to the charred cornea <br />essential will <br />broken by nature <br />made & broken <br />seduced by beauty <br />the danger of vision <br />i stared in wonder <br />til i could no more <br />senses flared <br />flaming <br />excruciating joy <br />the brilliance <br />incoherent, insolvable <br />now dead to sense <br />recoverable only in <br />the pagan ether of each new dawn <br />a twinge of soft light <br />searing the edges <br />of black vision <br />& colours remembered <br />sights seen <br />unbelievable now.<br /><br />William Cook<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/staring-into-the-sun/
