Dedication – to Elizabeth Santos & Pepper

I peruse with mine grateful eyes Twilight’s song of ending light,
knowing that the flames that brought it forth are bright;
and knowing that I will never write
with such profound clarity.

but still, that littlest flicker of golden light
will continue to burn in the depths of mine soul,
until such time as I light
thy world with mine own words.

I doth gaze with longing on the art
that traverses in each poet’s heart
and in whispered reverie I impart
their words to mine memory.

but still, that littlest flicker of golden light
will continue to burn in the depths of my soul
until such time as I light
the world with mine own words.

I will never, ever be all that I would wish to see
as to thy palette the poets’ loving art is seen
in the world so stretched out before me,
here, in the Blues of Passions.

but still, that littlest flicker of golden light
will continue to burn in the depths of my soul
until such time as I light
the world with mine own words.

To thee I dedicate the modest work I do
but beseech thee, find those words that ring true
in others’ works, for thy beauty, it belongs to you,
here, in the Blues of Passions.

Sunshine
With these words you have lit the world, and brightened my day. I could never have written this with "such profound clarity", for it is a mirror of YOUR soul, and it will remain forever in my heart. To have such an exquisite poem dedicated to me and our dear friend, Shannon,is an honor bestowed to few, and I thank you dearly for the dedication and for writing such a lovely piece.
Applause for the poem!
Applause for the poet!
And a humble thank you
Love
Liz

what a gorgeous poem...such perfect words.
and about 2 very kind ladies.
I hope Liz knows how in awe of her I am by now..but I will again happily say she is AMAZING both in her talent and heart...

and I so glad to have this opportunity to say something to Pepper...as we dont have a poem post from her to reply to..
Pepper...thank you SO much...
for the many kind replies to my work here.
You always say such encouraging things...
and it is so cool the way you come in here and read all our poems.

thanks for the place to say this Sunshine, and again...this poem is exceptional.
take care, jm


 Is it too much to find an answer,
Is it too much to hold you close.
Is it too much to find a reason,
Is it too much to free my soul --
From self control ...
And I know you're always waiting for me ...
You take me far away,
And I know you're holding me ...
And it's better now ...

Sunshine your heart if of gold!

I doth gaze with longing on the art
that traverses in each poet’s heart
and in whispered reverie I impart
their words to mine memory.

I can't pick a favorite here, because every line touched me. But what a special tribute to two very special ladies!
