Poetry’s Trace

Moulded into a form divine
Words that flow in perfect rhyme
Spinning tales of stories old
Drawing pictures bright and bold
Living streams of liquid flow
Over my blushing skin like so
Smouldering sparks that ignite
Written passion inflames the night

Phrases spun into Rainbow Sea
Turn my resolve into soft jelly
I can’t resist the words of you
When you write Oh I wish it too
Light leaps from your liquid ink
Delivers much of imagined think
Touch me with your magic pen
Take me into the heavenly when

Drawing images I long to see
Written pictures of you and me
Wordy rainbows in softened hue
Stroke my skin with voice of you
Lift me up into the sky once more
Write of me and watch me soar
Dress me in your poetic lace
Fill me with your poetry’s trace

I would think that to hear this spoken would only enhance the sweet flow of something that has come from the heart...

Your writing, Marsha, has done more than just grow in depth....it has become enhanced by the fact that you cared enough to listen...tell Krissy...she's got a good model to follow....but be careful she doesn't run over you....
