In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2004-04-22 01:08 PM



I did not notice
how dark
it had become

When eyes are closed
there are no fine
lines between
horizons and clouds

even -when you
are near
I, can not
meet your
eyes without
wanting to run--


That I might miss,
the feeling  of turning
you into  someone that has
lost their religion--
       the
   half empty,
        half  full
   glass: theory


If I am an island
let the skies
hold tender mercy-
glimpses I can not describe
to you   in unwilling motion
and unheard symphonies

as if there are no
words left- any where

I will be the storm at sea
when your hands have missed
my touch

circling the champagne
glass in

crystal perfection

brilliant – fluting
noise


in theory the glass:

half empty


~~**~~
The sound of silence calls,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream
The echo of our souls meet
~~**~~

Lauren, sometimes the words just cannot
be found anywhere......
Hugs to you, my friend

====================

an ocean of devotion...this is LAUREN-LOVELY...
glass? ... me thinks its crystal, when held in your  hands. .

... and it's you ... you ... you ... you ...
the light changes when you're in the room.

elegance comes not from the affectations of grace.. but from being one filled with grace

Once again...an exquisite piece Lauren...
I am starting to find words hard to come by to describe how your words make me feel.
Love ya lady~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Lauren,

You have a connection with words and phrases that are indescribable. I don't know how to quite put my finger on it. For one thing, there is always the imagery that jumps out at me when I read your poems.

"I have gone away. The bed is cold and empty. Trees bend their boughs toward the earth. And nighttime birds float as black faces.

Not to mention the grace and impeccable phrasing in her choice of line breaks, Opeth.



You have my total admiration, yet again, Lauren.

Intriguing read.  Being half of something is better than not being a part at all.
