In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2002-08-14 11:13 AM


Give    me    stars,  let
    them spill from your palms,
between your fingers,
in bars of blue and red
evidence  pure;

Through smoked glass
    midnights
coil  --  descending  to dusk
I stood  in circles of light
   casting shadows   in white arc

in contrasting oils

black   masks    dangled like bats
earthbound    from   tin roofs    {haunting really}


I took from  wells    landscapes
of water --  spiral
sunsets   reaching  outward
in delicate  brushings     of    southern winds

      here
Dwelling in abstract pictures,
        earth   trembles
rain  of green,   tapping buildings of stone

{between acts you    described,
sipping     wine  &  stained plums --   for the Eden
of 'wildlife' by a glass wall}


Each day the same,     I stood, again beside you;
carried you in slumber    of small songs
and dreams:

   laughing
            {Heaven    paused for reception
shaking    seas    fire and steel
     beginning  long nights}


This canvas needs more veil
there is nothing;      no     middle
    candles  melt slowly
  the  moon; no where in sight

I again stood
in    corners of    horizons

watching petals fall

illuminations in exact shades
weightless through
open night
~~~~~~

From the Poetry Workshop


The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy

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

With every write your poetry evolves...
a more exquiste depth of ethereal ...
a more enchanting essence and a higher level of inspire...
as if you know the secrets of the night sky...as if the stars have whispered them to you and now you write their legacy.
I feel humbled and grateful to get to read them.

If all the tear drops went to heaven
And if all the pain was confined ...
Would I be your salvation
could I make your spirit shine.
