I have pills--
a calendar--
a line-up of relief...
pretty blues to bring me up
and pinks of sweet surcease.
I have powder in a jar...
lucidity in sniff of straw--
I have talent---so they say...
I wonder will it go away?
Am I describing all you feel
or just the painting of surreal?
Tell me, as I twirl my skirt
I'm not mere laughter in the dirt?
TELL ME...give me brave critique--
the difference of concrete street
or feet that stick to July's Tar--
trap fireflies within a jar;
and call it "The St. Peter's Torch"
as I dance upon death's porch?

the difference of concrete street
or feet that stick to July's Tar--
trap fireflies within a jar;

Only the difference 'tween north and south, a heart that hears and any else.

==================================

No it wont......
not as long as its given the love and respect
it needs and deserves...
as long as it treated with cherish and nurtured it will continue to grow
Talent like yours in born...God given...
instilled, inherited....
its only when we dont protect it and respect it that it tests us and silences us.
Because "it" knows we arent respecting and protecting ourselves(usually from ourselves)
("my own worst enemy is me")
The muse is fragile in its powerful beauty.
So is love and trust...
Much like the heart and spirit...
they only shine when shined upon.

(tis way too early for such mothy wisdom)
(I aint even had me tea yet)  
love you
me

Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom
Precious rhythm you are my guide
These days are sacred, my heart is humble
Oh warrior show me thy light

I enjoy surreal, confined within one's imagination
I enjoy your thoughts, often confined beyond my imagination
Always enjoy reading serenity

   THATS BECAUSE YOU ARE ARE POET!!

the spicy cajun kind    (rofl)

Never, nope.... and I for one am grateful for that fact. Your words leap off the screen, whispering truths and mysteries. Continue to dazzle us. Seren, hugs.
