Nuzzling Fire

I feel some nymphs nuzzling fire
Stirring embers of my desire
The ID of me is breathing hard
The inner door has dropped its guard.

The core has burst the bounds of awe
And gone beyond it’s fragile store.
And I am high and dry an Isle
In the middle of a wile

The shell is withered worn and torn
Cursing time with heavy scorn.
Raving mad and jaundice sad
Dreaming dreams that I’m a lad.

Oh my lord what I would plough
To know back then what I know now
I’d set my world a forest fire
And blame it all on fools desire.

But life is not a boomerang
And what is left is pure harangue.

Seymour darling heart good morning dear friend, this is magnificent but you know that don’t you? Well, you should do, since you NEVER write anything that is anything less.

Always your writing displays excellence in its flow, form and content, and I love each daily write, some however are extraordinarily brilliant in their construction, they possess an extra sprinkling of magic, this is one of those times.

This is utterly utterly perfect, and YOU KNOW I LOVE IT, I love it utterly utterly utterly. You darling heart are an exquisite writer, and this is a fabulous poem. Marsha blows a kiss, and smiles


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Hey...this is really good Sy.....yanno, if I could be a boomerang, I doubt I would go back....too many memories and bad times....now, If I could choose to where I went back to...then I'd probably be Bill Gates with a gun by now....

Good Morning - Viciously hot and humid here in New England today. We Northerners are not used to this kind of weather! This is Marge Tindal stuff!!

I love this poem and I learned a new word today thanks to you. 'Wile'  I had to look it up in the dictionary. You 'cunning' fox you!
Hugs, Marti

Excelent write. If we could would we?

And run ahead to catch it.

Randy roars and Randy rages
Spits desire's fire upon these pages
Ranting of the nevermore
Cantations of inner core and store

Bellows of what has not held true
Churns and burns for all he's yet to do
Wastes his wile upon dreamers schemes
Raps with rhymes of regret's theme

Let him stomp and spout and roar
Let him return to where he's been before
The age old question of "If and When"
The infinite quest of "If I had known then"

We all must learn this lesson well
Hell fires burn with regret when a dragon dwells  


~~~~~~

I see Randy's stole Sy-babes pen again
When will he learn he cannot win.
(He needs to dig the skin hes in)
Realize thru Sy's eyes of wise ...
he already holds the prize.

a for Randy too

JM,
If you are the prize Tink than I am in paradise. Randy said if you don't use it you loss it. So he is always blowing smoke screens. WWRS

========================================


I just came back to say ...
those will be the coolest words I'll read today.
Tell Randy I know a moth full of admire ...
who will always fly into his fire.

Hard to follow Janet Marie, she sees the clarity of the beast and man...they are both to my liking, too.

(sigh) Oh Seymour, you impore the dark side of passion so powerfully here, sweet friend, life is indeed not a boomerang for it is not all just a parabola but more of a snake-wind path of many adventures! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much!  You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Heavens, yes. *S* But would I make better choices? Have I gained wisdom with my years or just wrinkles? *S*

This is wonderful, Seymour... I loved the title and the poem lived up to the title's promise. *S*
