Ambiguous undulations as they sink
Downward to darkness, on extended wings."

Hehe, you're too cute.

Undulation

Heavenly bodies move in undulation
Gravity is their sacred salvation
Before and after the so called big bang
Ring my big bell so that yours may be rang

Born of temporal flesh we rise from the dirt
Yet the stirring passion makes our spirit hurt
All that rises will eventually fall
It is what is in the middle that must enthrall

So here we all are between heaven and hell
rising and faling has us under a spell
It'll balance itself out somehow in the end
for its purpose is an ultimate blend

Eva

Graceful angel,
with her undulated, silky hair falling down.
I touched it, just to know it was real.
Lifted it, to see what it concealed,
and carved from finest ivory
she stood before me,
naked.

Woo, good writing guys. I'll post up a new word of the day later on unless Sibs beats me to it.
