 Poet, Touch The Keys  Across the phantasms you take me over the bridge of breathtaking and into the sea of your salve and I bathe there tenderly, knowing... My black and white sits separate and alone until you touch the keys like dipping fingers into milk swirling the zephyr white - the slow glide making breeze as you lift your gifted hand and whisper - "Come, be the wind." You touch me like an old lover a beckon of rediscover polishing the dusty keys my piano plush poignancy. Your fingertips are my power - the spill of quill across skin eyes and my strings play your passion as we become understanding. I lay naked before you though fully clothed in ink - the tears, the laughter, the love vulnerable in verse from within your soul speak. I race the rhythm of your rue and freefall in your reflection you make see beauty as if I have been blind for too long; It is the voice of your heart and I savour the sup of it's song the vibrato of vibrancy my listening knows your value. Yes my friend, take a bow and smile for your applause... painter, magician, artist, poet you are the inspiration, you are life itself. Melissa Long-Monette Dedicated to all poets here  I've wanted to write this for many years now - Finally it is finished  Thank you for your support, friendship and for sharing your talent!

Thank you so much everyone, as always your kindness and encouragement means the world to me And yes, I do find a lot of wisdom and pieces of myself in your poetry.....I remember joining PIP when I was about 19/20 years old, no biggie, but luckily now that I'm 26, I think that I've grown leaps and bounds in my expression and style - also due in part to the inspiration I've gained by reading your words. GAWD I love this place!  Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Melissa I don't think anyone can join this place and NOT fall in love with it, and also not be able to grow. I smile when I see the new poets come and watch their words take wing. You are a gift to us all Melissa, as are your words. thank you for this. I'm keeping it. |

Patootie, this is you at your very best. Your descriptions and metaphors are perfect, especially the piano keys, sitting there alone mute until the touch of a talented hand can join the black and whites into creating glory. For all of the thanks you give to the poets on this site, let me return them in kind for you have enriched the lives of many of us, also, with your talent and your friendship. May the songs never end... |

Melissa, this poetic piece of pie may have been in the oven for a long time, but it was baked to perfection!  I am saving it so that I can savour it from time to time! You know what being a poet is all about ~ because you are one yourself!  Love & Poets' Light, Linda  |

quote: ~*~ There are three, four or perhaps five poems of mine own that can be found in Passions, encompassing this passion for music...particularly, my mother's passions. On this day, for Memorial Reasons....I would share a brief passage from one of them... quote: I do believe it was the mothering of milk that let me share this with you; a heart rending comment my deceased sister Dee said when she had watched her step-Mom, my mother, dip her fingers upon the keys...for she was not playing them, but stroking a fine white line of black and white, to make music that fulfilled her passion... and left us wanting for more. Did I tell you yet how much I appreciate this poem? If not, then let it be said, it is a  |
