Another Place, Another Time Iluminada by Olorididan(op): 9:51pm On Oct 12, 2012
bronzed bronzed
between many suns and
cold winds
of emotional scars
fine lines worn proud
reflecting outer of inner
confidence, not defeated
not to be questioned
largeness, warmth
naturalized in the heart
despite all disposed
spites
and scorns unloaded and abandoned
still full of
love-longing life
balancing, balanced
red stilted stiletto strides
tall approach of no reproach
only fingers outreached
tell of many memorable
wonderful, tropical eras
gone by
eyes speaking
speeches of desire
not of need, not burning
but enduring fire
to touch me and give and share
all exposures
ready to expose
all that truth
and beauty
not passed, never robbed of youth
yes, indeed would have worshipped you
but both knowing
my apologetic eyes
could never defeat your completeness
glorious Iluminada
in another place

Mr Olorididan. You wrote this masterpiece and disappeared. I see you logged in last year 2012. If you ever log in with this account again, please say hi. This is a wonderful piece.
