Speak, Poet, Speak

'tis not but terms,
these words' impart
that thrill and steal
a lady's heart

but truth be told,
O friends of lexis
some spoke longer
in forming nexus ....

'tis kindness sought,
when words to bower
rock you gentle
in darkest hour

harbor not verbiage
of deepening fright
but gentlest thoughts
in creped twilight

as in the dark
the hoot owl brings
thoughts to refresh you
upon his wing

no mere man,
nor mortal be,
but soft of touch
'tis immortality....

now sire, now
rest thy eyes
as you’re assured
in dawn's pure light

to seek again
the words of one
for such as you
shall write till done…

*applause*  Wonderful write Lady, something we all relate to.  The words of others touch us. *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Once penned and truth's ink hath begun
it's words take on the rays of Sun
and there shines life's light until done

the soft touch is thine
reawakening my pen
thou inspiration

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Gently, the hand that would lift up
to drink words as if mead poured from a cup
to read the thoughts of one, 'tis true
with thanks, I applaud the all of you


Thank you all very much for reading this little piece, and for bringing it back up from the shadows...
