Only in the morning of shorter days before the dawn, skyscape doorway into eternity, the magic of the bay a reprieve from missing her. Poetry within the poem something to hold onto after first of September thoughts and things. Sadder is the struggle in the standoff Saturday is calling. Why am I standing still resisting strange waters? Life, love, pain and sorrow, never ending stretches far and wide till the 2.45am serenade of interim dreams but not even this, a dream in Braille, permanent solace in the twilight zone. Just one day turn, turn, around don’t take anything – welcome home but what if Sunday never comes? Chewing on this, confusion you are a man, not a leaf, does the day fit ya? It’s your choice – the flipside of ice but tired shades, thief of quiet nights, “What am I gonna do?” … and here we go again smoky mountain shadows in the space between us. Here, there, Africa, South Africa, the shadow world, six of one – half a dozen of the other, by the light of the silvery moon something took place there. Not black and white an encounter with someone like you. So you would know me where essence does exist? The aroma of sensuality not now, no more. Where did it go? I left a ribbon on the shore for you to touch a brighter star but have you heard the agony because there is a were? I will be going home. Nasty business my deal with the devil but this is for you, my word twist held within pages of blue. Feel the poet’s power painting in the sky every word of love and angels tears as a raindrop falls for the memory’s never gone. Just call me if you need me to enter your caress! Helen / 19 November 2004 A big “thank you” to all poets for the use of titles that have enabled me to say … not all but enough. |

It has indeed been my pleasure, Sunshine. I may pick it up again in the future just to say I did them all - just too many for now. |

Oops - pressed send too soon. Thanks Ratleader and Enchantress for reading. It's a fun exercise for those who can't sleep and then don't sleep because of the challenge. Can't say I've slept any better afterwards though. |
