and...
turth hurried to seal the day
making few impressions
yet...
kingdom in it's own making
sojourner
still living
still advancing
making me a poor slave

lectures sweet confessions
thoughts shared audibly

the present...

oh gathering farmer
speculation
with no expectations

currency finding text
I overheard
the masters of humanity
watchover but never interject

veins of kindness...consideration
stimulating human motives
putting forth energy
allowing intellect

trials of life
our angst for hopelessness
dulls understanding
be free, let go those
lisless manners of patience
half-performed opinions
dirty looks...hostilities of mind

common folks who choose

and why the whole world cries against it

truth is faith
in the course of conversations
mutually discovered
opens the breath of mind
intimacy...oh intimacy
a prayer for the beaten
mortified pride & deep chagrin

then...

a maiden
declaring food for thought
lights one candle
ambition...desire to please
nights of small favors
unattainable, but there
whipping her silly

sometimes
a slave to stupidity
searching for validity
for taking
what is not her own

but to safe
from bitter pains
from fears
insincerity
hypocrisy
intimidation

go see liberty
truth ~
answers a most shocking
spectacle
slaughters monsters &
ruffians that spill
human blood
beating crime
with the eyes
of faithful spirits
truth can't be molested
nor denied

in that
I receive
a privileged portion
of a life
that is shared by many
for I own no thing

man alters outward property
frightful illusions
dreamy myth
horrid reality
we are naked in truth
with many fields
yet to work
never really safe
or for certain...
always hungry
but filled
with promise

and so
tonight

I shall lay
naked

with
you

in
truth

...and
the legs
of
life
wrapped
round me

so

in

love

Oh-Aye, and precious is the truth my dear…
You are a gifted and talented writer Lee J.

You do write the loveliest thoughtbeats...forgive my earlier comparison to your work as a drug?

That was more a sad reflection of me than your work.

"always hungry
but filled
with promise"

smile...but it's so close to how it is--you very aptly describe things that are beyond my reach.

Love you lady!

Lee

I read your poems again and again -- and find myself savoring the images and word as they weave.

Good morning, Lovely Leggy Lee!

Another fine spill from thy quill.

I especially liked these lines.

"we are naked in truth
with many fields
yet to work"

~ and your closing lines weren't half-bad either!!! ~ as well as all the lines in between!

Have a great day!

Loveya!
Linda
P.S. I just realized that this reply is my 31,000th post! How time flies ~ when you're "Free".

LeeJ - I just can't help but love the corners of your mind where wisdom and insight grows and multiplies.  And the "cobwebs" - how they stretch and wrap themselves around us.  Amazing write as usual!

I read this before and thought that I had replied to it.  This is well worth, the second read.  Nicely done, lady.
