Beauty was on my steps this morning So I invited her inside Just a glance and my heart was soaring So exquisite and dignified I was lost, enraptured by her splendor Tasting salty tears flowing from my eyes To be allowed such a glorious treasure I felt my spirits rise Torn between keeping her or setting her free And I couldn’t let her go Selfishly, I rationalized, she was a gift to me Some how I just know… So I kept her a prisoner inside And beauty began to fade My shame can no longer hide Beneath the mistake I made Beauty died in the night The realization stings I bound her kept her from flight Beauty flutters on fragile wings "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |

Oops, sorry, I have been missing from action for a few days and I missed your serve. I still want to play. I'll try to stay tuned next time. Thanks |

ok Danny I'll add you to the end of the list  Mystical being which makes ink flow Surround me in your incandescent glow Fill my brain with thoughts and rhyme As I try to capture but a moment in time ~Shan~ |
