My Wings had not Rusted Remember oh memory how you once held me and I curved with you into a backdrop of running water you touched my cheek like a delicate blue egg and indeed I felt like a bird soft and fragile with waiting the soft tick of time fell sweet moments around me and the grass purred with sound casting the delusion of abandon I took your lasting fingers and let them break my innocence and though I was struck I fancied the dance of delusion where could I have gone to tower when I was so blinded and my infant held me captured by bewildering need so I danced such circles watered my bucket to full again and again as it seeped precious days thinking I could not get out but you had not imprisoned me for the house was cards and the wind was blowing and when it fell I was surrounded by fragments of sharp pieces of pretense and finally felt the pain of you but I was free and my wings had not rusted |

Martie~ I wish you could be here to hear me read your poetry ... I read it I enhale it It fills me and still I continue to feast ... 'so I danced such circles watered my bucket to full again and again as it seeped precious days' There you go ... those charismatic circles again ! Flying 'round and 'round and 'round ... ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I love the images that I get when I read one of your poems...I have realized that I read them slowly so as to enjoy what they breathe. This one is a true treasure and I thank you once again for blessing us. |
