In the Cobalt Midnight In the cobalt midnight deep in dreams I see reaching toward the hiding unarmed heart of me A love that is like tender feather softened lark touching places in me I always held apart. My tangled tresses loosened falling all around pillow my discomfort in a warm heart’s gown I reach to touch the palm that midnight magic opened and find instead air warm with words that were unspoken. I’m quite sure there is a someone in time and space who waits to breath the silken fragrance that only dreams relate and merging in some azure night he dreams his open palm is touched by warmest breath in the dark before the dawn. |

Martie, my friend~ Were I to tell you all I found pleasurable - I should have to repeat it all ... So I've merely plucked two of these softly feathered pieces ~ 'In the cobalt midnight deep in dreams I see reaching toward the hiding unarmed heart of me' 'I’m quite sure there is a someone in time and space who waits to breath the silken fragrance that only dreams relate' Oh, the beauty of it all. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

"I’m quite sure there is a someone in time and space who waits to breath the silken fragrance that only dreams relate" Oh Martie ... you are the artistic master of imagery ... such a beautiful picture you've painted with these words, lovely!  Best wishes, /Kit |

I suspect somewhere, sometime, my poetic friend, that you will pen a less that wonderful poem. I just don't plan on holding my breath until you do. Beautiful poetry. |

Now look who reached into the heavens and pulled out another star for her galaxy of masterpieces. My friend, you are simply "AWESOME" no matter how one looks at it. This is totally there and more. You just keep getting better and now the rest of us have no hope of ever catching you. |

Martie I don't know how I missed this one...Wow! It's so smooth and flowing with open warm beauty! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
