The Sun glinting at angles through the leaves,
birds chirping ever so softly in the trees,
the brook flowing gently and seemingly noiselessly over the stones worn smooth with age,
the air thick and heady with the smell of flowers in full bloom in the distance,
oblivious to the wonder and beauty around her,
there she lay, on the forest floor soft and springy as a persian carpet with leaves long fallen
golden sun kissed hair that lay sprawled about her head,
eyes closed as though in sleep,
and lips slightly parted as awaiting a lover's kiss,
limbs at angles that that forboded her story,
but for the dark patch on the ground by her neck,
that told stories of the gentle seeping of life away from her into the carpet that was to become her funeral pyre,
she could have been asleep.

This inkling clicks. I halt. Like a catalyst, my 'mindful' of racing thoughts works my legs into a race 180 degrees from my halt. As I race, I try to figure out what I'm missing; I know where I'm going - I mean, I barely left there - but I can't say exactly what I'm going there to do. Through steep hills, trees and thickets I race back to the altar where a sacrifice was supposedly completed. I hope I get there before you do, you free citizens of the celestial. From a distance, I can see the serene "pyre" and a peaceful frame upon it, waiting to get inducted into the very roots of nature's open arms. Like an overdue ejaculation, it comes to me - what I ought to do to punctuate a perfect 'peace offering' - I ought to (and I start doing them right away): kneel feel lick ere the first bird of prey rips a piece off a peaceful heap of sleep. How in the world did I forget to get a taste? What was I thinking?
The taste of her blood and the few, adventurous beads of sweat that made it into my gob made all the sense her life failed to make five years before she ceased to be my sister; five years before her nap - yes, nap for a few months she won't be asleep anymore; fast birds will have have fed fat.
Still kneeling, I adore the magnanimity with which she said yes to a picnic and gave a gift as generous as herself to nature.

. . . not a "rhymer"/poet Angelic she, Devilish me, Who would have thought the same womb brought us forth. "We could have been good together, this incestous love binding us forever. But you left me no choice, my benevolent Joyce, than to leave of you a pallor of bluish hue."

A very lovely creative poem. I am the Prince Charming she is waiting for! A kiss of life will wake her up and she will sleep and wait no more

I like this kind of challenges. How do u see this continuation @ bluespice? No 'secular weapon' you said
The young freshly broken tree branch perhaps unable to Sustain her tender weight As she sat, Admiring nature, Waiting, longingly for him Beside the silent brooks Belies any hope of sleeping death
Her head resting peacefully On smooth white washed stone, Dark rotting blood, trail a path Down her head, down the rock, To the patch Sounded louder than any thud Of her fatal fall!
The knowing black ugly vultures circling high above the greenery With each cycle climbed lower and lower Closer, and closer, To a beautiful meal! She could have been asleep

good but she died by bleeding out of her neck. . . fall would shatter her skull hence leaving a gory sight not the perfect beauty in death we want. . . try again pls im loving your thought flow

lol. Gotcha!  That will require a very little tweak. How about this FATAL FALL The freshly broken branch Of a young tree Perhaps unable to Sustain her tender weight As she sat, Admiring nature, Waiting, longingly for him Beside the silent beautiful brooks Belies any hope of sleeping death Her head rests peacefully On a young tender flower, Dark rotting blood, trailing a path Down her neck Where a spike, had ruptured An artery To the patch Sounded louder than any thud Of her graceful, short, Yet fatal fall! The knowing black ugly vultures cycle High above the lush greenery With each cycle climbed lower and lower Closer, and closer, To a beautiful meal! She could have been asleep

Err. . How's this? There he stood, Far,yet as near as he possibly could. He hid betwixt the vines and the trees, Her blood on his breeches.
There she had betrayed him, There he had seen fit to deem, That she be punished, And he fate had furnished, A golden opportunity, To silence her for eternity.
How his heart beat with anger, How her betrayal had cut him like a dagger, There she had kissed another's lips, There she had touched another's cheeks, Uttered words of love, Sullied herself with another's touch. He had protected her, And yet she'd whored for another, How he had loved her.
So for the first time he'd shown himself. She looked at him in fear, But by then he was too far gone to care. She was beautiful . . . So beautiful. Her pale cherry lips parted slightly, She gasped softly. Straining against her bodice,her chest rose and fell. His heart swelled. So f

I was working on it. Back to the poem 'He pulled her close, Let down her hair. It tumbled down swiftly, Cascading curls of auburn beauty. She was pure,clean, Or at least she used to be. She was his, He loved her,and yet he hated her still. She was tainted, Breathing in her essence,he hesitated. But not for long, And as fluidly as a song, He'd thrust the crude flint knife, And in that moment,he took her life. He lay her on his thighs, his ire satisfied, And lay her on a bed of flowers, And kissed her lips much like a lover. She he'd saved, And he left her on her leafy grave. He She was his.

Forget about the last two lines. I ended it at 'leafy grave'.
