Grays of Privacy

Deep in pools of legacy
I see my minds expectancy.
I see the blind that lap the shore
Looking for forevermore.

I see the pull on sandy beach
I see the full of every leach.
I see the agony of loss
I see the gain of time of course.

All those loops of infinites eight
Adding more and more of freight
Skates upon my face of shine
Etching me another line.

And when I see the mirrors kiss
It hisses me a dark abyss
That makes me turn away in awe
And sets a raven at my door.

I never was too fond this bird
He slurs my bond and burrs my word.

(sigh) Oh Seymour, I think the raven is meant to be a deceiver to all and a tragic character that can haunt us so much, sweet friend, you speak of such a truth here, I love it, always think butterflies and hummingbirds, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sahring!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Mirror Mirror on the wall ...
who is the wisest poet of all.
Who is the last word of wisdom rhyme,
whose verse is etched in infinities time.

Who is the sage that is all the rage,
Who sets the stage when he pens the page.
To whom do we turn for humilities yearn ...
the questions that burn of humanities learn.

Who teaches us we must not be afraid to fly,
I'd like to try to write his name 'cross the sky.
Mirror Mirror ... tell my Sy-babes true  ...
tell him age is just wisdom's accrue.

Mirror Mirror ... tell him age is like his rhyme ...
like a fine wine ... he just keeps getting better with time.

Thanks for the good stuff.

Noah
Thank you my friend always enjoy your replies.

JM,
Dear winkiewinkie twinky, you make my Randy a happy stinky. He flies around my head in call, shouting I am the best of them all.
He's now strapped on his double saddle and calling me to skedaddle. That means we'll be there post haste.
You bring the tea I'll bring the taste.

Seymour darling heart truly one of your utter best, I love the vision this brings to mind

Within times mirror what do I see?
A pattern of wisdom’s clarity
It reflects your eyes reasoned thought
Of all the ways of truth you’ve sought
And maybe it places a mist o’re you
With a little line or perhaps two
They are just ripples nothing more
Wrinkles of what has gone before
Time’s passage leaves much in its wake
But I’m thankful for truth’s sake
For the wisdom time has given you
You sprinkle us with its dew
    This lines drawn with time’s own hand
    Leave a map of knowledge in hope’s sand

Absolutely perfect writing I love it, you never fail to write exquitely and this is truly excellent I love it utterly utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire
