Portrayals

Dip thy pen into sink of sigh
with lightest feather touch then
sense men’s cry

Let shades of deeper ink seep souls
for word’s sole touch
is music’s shoal

Direct yon light to fall on page’s leaf
direct to mind, past eyes to cleave
so very brief

Of hope, t’would thought bend gray
to layer long in minds’ well,
doth one pray?

Touch not one without thy ripple
for sounds sure scene by
quill’s black stipple.

Elan darling girl you are a weaver of stars incandescent dreams WOW this is utterly utterly delightful you’ve written an absolutely precious think of poetic ink here. The flow of thought in this is wonderful and the rhythm absolutely divine. I love the image this brings so softly tenderly soft whispered dreams

You know I adore this too don’t you, and do I forgive you for outshining me? Mmmm I’ll think about it, but it might take some bribery, another dozen poems like this might do to start with. And don’t tell me to hit the print button twelve times. Write more much much more this is incredible writing

I wub you

Love and warm stuff
As always

Portraits
Hang usually hallwise
disturbing only questioning eyes

Portraits
Summon the life inside
in all other worlds denied

Portraits
Unfrozen time no
single moment bearing life

Portaits
Carry forth imbeded passion
glowing from painted eyes to life

Portraits
Sigh in silence understanding
when question meets the eye

All Awaiting
Silent Sighs
MoonSong Delights

SunsetTwilightEverKnowing
A single moments painting
All life

Merci

place your foot upon the light illuminating forever- EternitysHorizon
Often see, rarely touched
Rise if ye seek to see
