Leave Well Enough Alone

I tried to capture
The mist of you
And it turned
Straight into dew
Tried to hold
The dew of you
And it turned into
A waters view
I put it
In the sun
To stare
There it disappeared
In air
And I was left
With nothings share
Which was more
Than I could bear

Ahh Stinkylove....
when the mist of gist only gives you dew...
its time to turn it into tea that will set you free

I happen to know you have the tea bags. *L*
me thinks the dream will be found in the steam

  

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much ...
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.

But a darned good one!

JM,
Melancholia birthed the rain
With crystal waters hews and stain
And my face is pressed against the pane.

Will the "mist" return yet again,
with the early morning dew....
only to vanish into thin air,
leaving just memories to view?

Well writen and expressed Sir....Much enjoyed!

I love the ethereal feel to this one, Sy...
It reads like someone slipping through your grasp.

your writing is always so lovely.

I can't think of one that I haven't enjoyed.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Seymour, this is sad, sweet friend, I hope everything is alright and this does not reflect a current experience of loss! (sigh) Like always you write with such zeal, sweet friend, I love this, 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,

We can't always feel that which touches us, but we can be moved by the experience and hold onto the moment, making our memories out of them.  Loved the way you said this Mr. Tabin~

Hate it when that happens! Then there is nothing left but to move on.
