Burning the Veils
No matter the fabric, no matter the veil,
I see you.
I see your glory,
shining through.
My nereid, I smile at you gladly,
wearing veils, true to your nature.
My muse, I smile at you sadly,
wearing veils, to hide the wounds of your youth.
No matter the distance,
nothing will you obfuscate.
No matter the veils.
nothing will my love abate.
I come to you,
my flames have burnt my clothes.
My flames have burnt yours, too.
I am burning within and without.
Your veils do not worry me,
they do not sadden me.
For you and I are two halves of one crystalline rock,
nothing and no one could separate us,
no castle, no lock.
No veil.
This piece, as were all I wrote since 2009, was written for and dedicated to @mamadini, and also in part draws upon and responds to her latest piece, among other things. Nothing quite like having a dialogue through poems, is there?

You sure know the art of the Woo -- My my, Mister Guy. ;)
Hey, a certain nymph taught me all I know, I'm innocent!
Also, I have to say, I've read or thought of "My, My, Mister Guy" at least half a dozen times today, and I broke out with a chuckle each and every time :)

MEEP! MEEP!

I gotta say, as an onlooker its great reading these back-and-forth's between you two!
That dialogue by poem as you say!
Was overjoyed when I saw "obfuscate" and "abate" rhymed.
Sometimes the rhymes, they just come to you. I will blame "obfuscate" on my RPG history, though :D
Lovely. I hadn't come across the the term "nereid" before, learnt something new!
I'm a huge mythology buff. I also really love words :D Happy to spread the love of it, and glad to hear you liked the piece :)
Beautiful piece.
Thank you kindly!
I hope to have time to read your pieces this weekend, this week is just crazy at work, and I'm using what little time I have to go over free-write entries :< There's never enough time for everything. Though things should be easier in 2.5 weeks, after the busiest time at my workplace ends.
Beautiful post
