Stubborn imprints colonize
Birdwatcher midlands
Silver candelabras
Wide board pines
Azalea-rich girlish butter
Remembers with great pleasure
Travel writers…wheels of willingness
Passengers and double doors
Signs nesting maternal
Spitting images
Changing with purpose

Longing for intrusion
Covering all bets
Of nature’s interest
Entering a church of art
Sight-seeing Raphael
Dousing lymph nodes
Milestones wearing lipstick
Where happy occasions
Carefully sob
Choosing words with great care
The smell of prayer put to the test
Is there one, who fights off gag reflex?

Grand mama whispers through the front door
Bout a casting call for ticket men
Ones with silent coverage
Doused in appointments
Of which they keep
Radiant and hopeful
Void of running shoes
They are there, filling life itself
Repairing all cracks in their homes
Checking bright eyed country
For the prize bull

Spending 6 years measuring my own stillness
Operating room squeezes hands
Save the inner voice, I whisper
And for hours I listen
Wondering where I was and why I could not see
While recognized voices awaken me

Your writing has depths
that I feel I can never reach...
let alone sometimes understand.

Still, there is a quality to your words
that inspires me to continue reading.

And that, my friend, is poetry.

you polish dishes
doll sized ones
with a velvet cloth

and hold them up
for the window to see

wow Lee, this is really deep....amazing write~

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

In your complexity, which is sometimes a challenge for me, I find beautiful tunes that I love to hear.
Love, Margherita

You play with words, like no other...hang them like so much bright clothing on the line in the sun and shadow...I love to read the depth of your poetic mind!  

"Where happy occasions
Carefully sob"

See what I mean?

very intresting, the complexity of each stanza increases as the poem ventures on.  there are a lot of things the reader can take away from this poem, and each reader will take away something different.  

Awesome write!

Enjoyed it!

Pimpin and panderin, on a level you can't serve, dismantle, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, and verbs

I have, on more than a few occasions....
said..."I wish I could write like this"...

I still do...and I will continue to say it.
For I never will...

Thanx LeeJ.
