 the NightJar Dusky with sprinkled angel tears a sky whisked with gray fox-tail brush cleaving demur sunlight into naked eve The calling of a faraway light with the scent of lonely the NightJar summons on a bureau chocked and stocked with gambled stars Captured moon dust ashimmer shook from her fiery hair; so faint and sweet are her kept secrets. She trills a blushing stammer the young girl with sea-shell pearled teeth and sleepy wishes of the naively sublime She vanishes on the darkness stairs into twilight her silken net: an irresistible siren’s cry to lure the throngs of a girl's dream into the NightJar [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (01-11-2003 09:38 AM).] |

G-G: how's the life in Fla? The rose is affixed as a buttoneer, and that was very kind of you to send a bloomin' rose this way! It's a warm 'reflection' on you to do so! Shine on, and thank you the sweetness! JkF |

While vegging on playoff feetball, i wanted to take a break and thank you, Nance, for the joining the party! Couldn't be one without either you or... Noah: hows you tonight, Kissy-Toe? This poem was inspired by a dream, where i dreamed my younger sister kept trying to convince our family that faeries came out of her dresser at night. Have a slice of 1000-post cake, amigo! Keep that heart-armor tightly on for a while, Noah. Your friends are behind you in your period of turmoil. Paul, i was tickled to see you, and thank you for your well-wishes and balloons! Cool! Thankx, y'all! Jeff |
