Seymour, the Touch of Delight The master of image, the eye of the mind The gold in the twisting and fastening twine Of ribbon that wraps you in words that have wrought Aesthetic embraces of pleasure and thought The godson of wisdom, of lightheartedness Of phrase that enfolds you in swathing caress The maker of stardust, of verses that sing The powdery dust on a butterfly wing His words are vibrations of harp string in play The colors of thought in a spectrum’s display He's a wizard in costume, the mystic surprise Unleashing the secrets in fathomless eyes A poetic lover, a touch of delight The intimate sense in the warmth of the night The fingers of gentleness stroking the skin And waking a smoldering ember within His words float the breeze on a transparent wing Of melody’s feather that glides into spring So lightly they hover the sheen of a page So tenderly tapping the mind of a sage By a master of phrase and artistic finesse The sweet realm of poetry surely is blessed Thank you Sy, for gracing this forum and enhancing our lives Elizabeth |

The godson of wisdom, of lightheartedness Of phrase that enfolds you in swathing caress The maker of stardust, of verses that sing The powdery dust on a butterfly wing Elizabeth, dear poetess what a beautiful tribute to our dear Seymour. He is certainly a blessing to us all. Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

"The godson of wisdom, of lightheartedness Of phrase that enfolds you in swathing caress The maker of stardust, of verses that sing The powdery dust on a butterfly wing His words are vibrations of harp string in play The colors of thought in a spectrum’s display He's a wizard in costume, the mystic surprise Unleashing the secrets in fathomless eyes" ============================================ Indeed he is a wizard of poetic verse Elizabeth. A beautiful tribute to our very own Sy! Would love to see a duet with you and Seymour. Two of my favourites here at Passions. ~Smiles & hugs, Nancy~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

This is quite amazing! Seymour is one of my favorites of this forum and you have captured so well the beauty and wonderfullness of his words!!! This is great and is definitly going into my private library!! Greatly done!!!!! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Elizabeth Elizabeth dear a sprightly bouquet And accepted in the humblest way If only you knew the truth of my heart I would never if ever let you depart. Each meaning and sense is one for each soul And takes different paths to set each a goal No words or action can turn it away But thoughts from the deep can lead it astray. A generation and more separate us And time plays the game of omnibus I would if I could open Pandora’s box But it would not solve, the paradox. So thank you again for the sweet of your heart The wonder and masterly of your art You offer a feather I offer a flight Put them together we may have the right. I cannot say what the future will bring Perhaps for us the birds will sing. |

"A poetic lover, a touch of delight The intimate sense in the warmth of the night The fingers of gentleness stroking the skin And waking a smoldering ember within" (smiles) Yay!!! Oh Elizabeth, I agree 100% with you about how talented and a special friend Seymour is, I have no clue how he keeps it up every morning but surely it is all natural and straight from his heart like a butterfly in the meadow! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are one of my favorite poets too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
