these words
are given to you
glowing embers
from the hearth
of my lonely soul
transmuted thoughts
words that flame
shaped by the alchemist
to dance forever
in the mirror
of your mind
a moment stilled
black lumps of cold words
burst into crystalline time
that knows no reason nor rhyme
fragmented thoughts
blossom alive
at the touch of
a smothering mind
to be freely given
the poet’s gift of heart

take them please . . .
they are yours


Lady Noggins
aka Wordancer

...come, dance with me...in my world of words...

Thank you for this precious gift -
To dance among the poet's words is a treasure to be treasured.

I think you are right, Lady. When we offer our words, we offer ourselves.  Yours is a beautiful gift.

I treasure all of your words as I treasure you..completely.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
