sleep was never enough
you would break behind my eyes
you, my dream on stilts

my butterfly

we would sing and swing
conquer the sun with famished breath
envision the “outdoors at night”
through Lehmann’s “Spring Forest”
his beetle
          buzzing us to life

and how you would wrap me then

your fervent belly tapping at my roots
looping your life around my hips

bending me

in howling chaos.

Note:
“Spring Forest”…
a collection of poems by Australian Poet Geoffrey Lehmann

fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

Well...

not sure what to say in response to this one Mmy...it's beautiful, I guess I can only say again and again - as a writer you've blossomed, matured...become?

Heart-hugs

Maree...I know what to say.
As Martie did...this is very rich...
as I would say...
it is very consuming!

Merry Christmas, little one!

hey, look. my first time back here,
and i come across a mindblowing
poem--i miss that.

anyway, i love it. the dreaming
on stilts bit was captured pretty
cleverly. but the whole poem in
itself was beautiful.

merry x-mas.

beautiful write Maree, but then again
I learned long ago never to expect any
less from you...so good to see you!

Happy Holidays,

The flash of spirit
Echoing rhymth to a delight of cresendo
Dancing on stilts
Twirling around in a blaze

my butterfly

we would sing and swing
encapsulated on magic
no sorry nights for us
dancing upon dreams
we may never
Know

To fight the world in words
You salted with your tongue
And hair spinning rays
In the magic
You've begun

you would break behind my eyes

Nothing wrong with dreaming big~
