From Midnight Blue to Dreaming
©2000 Christopher Ward


a peace of picture sways gracefully –
hanged carelessly atop the nail, sliding
along the remnants of a broken wall.
when these simple words turn into breath
with whispered ‘sssk’s’ of the gentle caress…
pendulumatically swinging… swinging,
it slows, slows, then stops for a silence.
and now she wants to frame my mind in arms
it rests here among the spectres of ambulation,
casted on canted edges, not… quite… straight.
the canvas, frayed, is time-worn fadings.
yet I still become beauty on her tongue
cracked, pitted, the paint a navy smear
of potentiality – the promise of a then.
she aches to taste the sighting of reality
depictions of another time, paths of glories
blurred… invisibling more each moment
which passes, passes, passes unnoticed.
time is bane when words lie still, unpeaced
the moon rises with the ghosts of movement,
perhaps a sigh entombed within the breeze,
so the portrait stirs, and warmth returns to
the motioned swaying, swaying, swaying…
she wakes to sleep my dreamless night

My goodness Kissy Face....I love this one.

"pendulumatically swinging… swinging,
it slows, slows, then stops for a silence.
and now she wants to frame my mind in arms
it rests here among the spectres of ambulation,
casted on canted edges, not… quite… straight.
the canvas, frayed, is time-worn fadings.
yet I still become beauty on her tongue"


there is more, (like the whole poem) but this part I think I like best. damn you write awesome

Christopher...Glad this came out of the archives; because it would have been a shame not to read this marvelous piece of writing.

Hey you! You trying to get my attention?
You KNOW I adore this one...

Should I bore you by telling you how wonderful you are?

Grinning here, you, my friend, are one of those writers that I learn from, just by reading you.

Smooches. Great to see you, sweet face!

Susanopher - Thank you kind lady. Your words and appreciation make it worth having been resurrected.

Walt - Danke. Glad you recognized it!

Ivy Rose - Wouldn't miss what you hadn't seen! Thank you.

Karen - glad to see you're back and running (hopefully not away!) and please, bore me!!! HUGS

Some people are born smart.
I don't know what happened to the rest of you.
