Your stay was gentle and all in a whisper, as cinnamon memories liquify into bamboo and ebony dreams seem, to my soul made child again, in the secrecy of the black cypresses that stay the inclement ascent of splendor slow to rise low in amber eyes, embers of innocence in whose depth I consume every rememberance, when on cold, quivering nights there is no other light, no ease other than these pinions which breathe from the soul, and the road that dreams take while sleeping, the hand sows seeds of reconciliation, and weaves the ecru syllables into visions of attar in the hour of distant orchards the cock is heard hurling its soft peals of eternity through shafts of plumage, as its echoes herald longing throughout these old gardens of cedar, to stay you, to stay you, gently as a whisper. 2004 copyright babygirLPress **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

I can almost hear you read this... in a voice that is strong yet tender... much like I hear most fo the words you've posted... nicely done ma'm... very nicely done.. |

I'd kill for your grasp of vocabulary...for that matter...I'd kill for a muse that wrote as consistant and constant as yours seems to...Im lucky to write once every blue moon... guess thats the difference between poets and the poet wannabes. lol *going to smack my moody muse with a Thesaursus*  Poetry is emotion put into measure. |

Moth lady~ thanks for the love...as for the words...I suppose i spent most of my childhood in books...they were my escape from a reality where the only poetry I could read was body language...city life...and the odds always against us...but there you have it...I actually was an anthropology major in college with a minor in theology...mostly eastern religions...and alot of my poetry also comes from that spiritual base... thanks for the interest...your own poetry is very rich and textured...thanks for checking me out... love&light, **babygirL** **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

Your words are always part of my "milk and cookies." Your poetry along with the gentle music of a pianist from Vancouver named, Lori-Ann Speed are pure magic together. If you can ever get hold of some of her music, trust me you will "hear" yourself. One CD, "In The Wake Of A Whisper" almost screams to have this poem on the piece after the album's title. Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. |
