Hello everyone I was invited by Dixie. I don't come close to her soul searing gifts but I hope you find something you can like in my work. Words of Donas I remember the room The walls covered in tapestries Each depicting a story of sorts The floor was warm stone Odd it never in all my visits seemed cold The wash basin was silver It stood on a carved stand of deep cherry Soft cloths to the left To the right a simple silver mirror and brush They always seemed so out of place So feminine in an otherwise masculine room The door too was of heavy cherry I only opened it once to explore The bed in which I'd always awake Was large enough for eight men It was at it's shortest point five feet high Always covered in black and red silk Even the heavy quilts were of such scheme My modest night gown was white cotton The sound of horses would draw me I'd look out the window upon a fertile valley Edging a beautiful forest They'd be there racing in the dawn She was pure white called Lady's Fire He blacker than pitch was known as Lord's Fire I could watch them for hours Awed by there strength and pride Fire had been an apt name for they seemed flame Burning of grace and independence I remember asking once when he came to me Something so rare after I'd awaken Why he didn't breed them with others He'd laughed and it boomed through the room Said that they would have no other Both of them have only one love One mate they desire Each other Then I asked who owned them His smile became serious as he spoke "No animal, human or otherwise can be owned.. they are offered shelter..granted affection and all they have to do..is be true to themselves." He'd left then and I'd returned to my world Awoken by my mother for school Confused more than ever by his words Yet as morning turned into day I felt an odd sensation in my chest Realizing as I faced my tormentor The sensation was the fluttering of wings Reawakend by words only dreamed |

Hello and welcome to PIP. I myself am new to this forum. And so, its great to meet you. Your piece was wonderful and I cannot wait to read more of them. All in all, very well writen. A pleasure to read. Beneath, there is more beneath, but, what is there in the end? More beneath? Or something more? |

Hello  I'm Ethel...garysgirl. I'm sorry i didn't get here to give you the proper welcome before now. I haven't been on here myself as much lately as I was. I love this place, though, and all this great big "family of friends" here. I hope that you like it as much as we all do. I enjoyed reading your first post very much. It's very good. I hope you'll be back soon. I would love to read more of your poetry. Oh, and someone our sweet friend Dixie recommends has got to be a sweet person, too. See you later...(hope your computer problems get fixed soon)..... "Love makes the world go around" |
