Carved Ruby my birthstone bleeds Hearts of tinsel wrapped, this candy sweet oh sweet Alice~ swallow an essence of violets as for the theater appropriate they are and as all the act a stage we find the script an elocution but of days wire tied to the round that lies above a point So lies the crystal dark within the vein I wash my hands and wash them yet again to expose a bit of red still nestled in the crust of earth and stone beside a rabbits hole written as equation for dark matter yet found Footlights fade past bow and rustle of crinoline bustled out with stave so nothing is revealed except a shape to appeal as cupid might in innocence still show shy smile or the turn of cheek blushed red this crimson day carved from ruby my birthstone shed luster left upon a once time dream forget me knots and grease paint spread to smile all the while Alice said “A Cheshire smile began from nothing and remained Just long enough to see the face and Valentines of lace So delicate the want” These thorned roses sit a bloom atop my bed And look down their heads held erect Through lowered lash coquettish in effect an equal sign Negated by a greater or less than sum The world is noted “Act1, Scene 3” Page nine hundred ninety one And in a sigh escaped to the silent night A name is found “Oh Alice, sweet, sweet Alice bound” Ruby carved I see… you found |

I'm buried in work on my day off... decided to wolf down a poem or two instead of visiting the vending machines for lunch... and found pure ambrosia. *S* Welcome back, my friend... it is truly a delight to see your name on these blue pages! *S* |

Like reading an onion, turning the page takes one not toward the end...but to the center. I REALLY liked this! |
