Assumed by echoes, are the carpet pages Where cubes melt into drying moist matches Containing everyone’s wish Some intersecting sphere in a place Derived from delusional events…yours and mine! What, images do you consider important? What duration of breath leaves you faint? Wanting that equal part of “your” May? What urinates perspiration of shadow play? Like spirit ghosts recording clocks turned back… When times were Africa hot shellacked In some opal light on the highway Do you pretend your bags are ready to go in a heartbeat? From all those gazes, in a coded world? Or do you sometimes chance to dance in a cool breeze Humming compromise, knowing the face Of your light Composed of rain and bedlam And sometimes disappointment? I do…I dream of sperm mysteries more glorious then diamonds The activities of my whole world And know we’re off springs of some distant woodland Knowing those things, after the child was removed I didn’t understand then, but do now Its physical constancy, like a time bomb idling Waiting, watching, embracing all those plaintive days Bleeding out like some delightful phenomenon Even when grief wants my soul, from the lustful wants Of student sapphire lamps, the pages and pages of metallic clouds Release the redundant biting and kicking Know the grand slam infringements And duty to attention, chance the reflected lights Of white roses climbing trees, chance the stone’s throw! If the rippling effect bleeds illumination on meadows Damn, those brushfires of folded up things Damn the arousal of lustful man The melodrama of genre, to which earlier events belonged I tottered when I should have teetered Wasting the challenge of noontide light…. Or did I? Was that flotation device really mine? It was a good trade! I learned of this colony! Personal letters of poverty Becomes the God bearing name With essential concerns that were part suggestion, Of dreams with kindly lights…some with song, Some with demon voices I made that magic lantern in darkness, I choose the terminal junction That one way ticket to inactiveness I kicked the dog when it was down, and kicked it some more And so, set the teeth of edge on fire Now, affecting articulation…swimming in scripture Knowing a portion of forever, exists If only in my mind… That Monster stands waiting to awaken in my night dreams Look, see him over there Tapping his feet, looking at his watch Dieseling mossy wooded breath of drunken intellect Like some hot air balloon Shall I poison improbability or remember possibility Warm euphoric love making…to my nation, Like a birth of another child…mine? Remembering the small little world deflecting light Some would say, go for it! Some would insist I wallow In their anticipation of life….prospect or not… I’m on the cusp A Capricorn/Sagittarius Woman Does that matter? Does the dizzying, craving maze wonder the names of Strong religion? Shall I make my clouds yours? Or shall I silently walk away considering allowance For you? A martyr? I think not! Selfish to say, your happiness begets mine In the end…the cross section of outlooks become Formal approaches…to the visual effects of our souls Festive in many ways I throw another 20 on the bar Thinking, perhaps another place another time… Knowing you left me faint And that dream of mine can wait knowing there 'is' life after death |

What I love most about your writing is that you write total FITS--peering and smiling compliments from under my brows with that--and this: "do you sometimes chance to dance in a cool breeze Humming compromise, knowing the face Of your light Composed of rain and bedlam And sometimes disappointment?" I love the tone of derision and baiting here (or maybe I just read that in) and this: "Release the redundant biting and kicking Know the grand slam infringements And duty to attention, chance the reflected lights Of white roses climbing trees, chance the stone’s throw!" Love the implication of purity (white climbing roses) and the backbite of secondthoughts. You are not an easy read, Lady Lee. grin I like that. You use allusions that are multi-layered, and your thoughts ain't easy. I suspect you have really epic dreams too. "With essential concerns that were part suggestion, Of dreams with kindly lights…some with song, Some with demon voices I made that magic lantern in darkness, I choose the terminal junction" nodding me too, Lee, me too But anyhoo, I enjoyed.  |

LeeJ You have created an Amazon of words and I have no compass for your world. But if you can see the sky through the forest. There is a guiding star. Amazing write. |

Hey Serenity, Good morning, thanks so much for your eyes and smiles... "do you sometimes chance to dance in a cool breeze Humming compromise, knowing the face Of your light Composed of rain and bedlam And sometimes disappointment?" I love the tone of derision and baiting here (or maybe I just read that in) Nope, simply touching base with the part of life that we've all known...or wanted to chance knowing....you know those choices? Yes? |

Good morning LeeJ! I must admit I had to read this twice, some parts even three times. But I would not have done it if I did not think it was worth it. "selfish to say your happiness begets mine" Help me out here but that to me does not seem selfish at all. Maybe I am just looking at it the wrong way,but I am trying. But anyway you can make your clouds mine if you don't think thats selfish of me. |

hehehe, hiya adagio...well, in a way selfish, b/c I know, that even through the pain of loss, to allow someone else their happiness, will only reap smiles on me....and sometimes helps to make those kind of choices a bit less biteful...but in the long run, the ripple effect will glow.... thanks for your eyes....enjoyed reading your comment...hugs |
