{that I may wake again, with gentle eyes} As threads dangle between lip and tongue patterns laced this night shall last-- lift thy eyes to twilight & faithful evening stars as I touch bending silver name your passions with petals of orchids, take me into dreams, then draw me back with gentle songs and quiet hues of morning dew You, whom I have watched breathe at nights through water of sleep in a blue city where midnights fall into history I can touch right? rise to the edge of water let it flow over my palms-- drawing me deeper in gold and green ripples if you could feel me the tense quiet surrounding you, in shadows where I have been -- where I am now The wood has settled, the press of leaves begins the ritual- etched in autumn skies-- I was reminded how You spoke of beauty -- journeys of rain, storms of pure light in their falling among my strength of all roots baptize me now I surrender too, horizons with no end, time between river and sea meeting the bend of color watching light whisper to broken glass between water and stone begins again the dream only you can enter [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (10-14-2003 12:31 PM).] |

It never fails.. that when I open one of your poems and begin to read, that I am taken back at least half a step, at the beauty and grace with which you present the language and the images... this one... certainly no exception, and on the second and third read, I am still in awe of your talent... |

Reading your poetry is like sleeping on satin sheets...like sunshine on skin, like a summer's breeze coming in off the ocean... like afterglow at midnight in moonlight.  every time I talk to you its over too soon |

You, whom I have watched breathe at nights through water of sleep in a blue city where midnights fall into history I can touch right? rise to the edge of water let it flow over my palms-- drawing me deeper in gold and green ripples if you could feel me the tense quiet surrounding you, in shadows where I have been -- where I am now Lauren, OH is all I can think of to say.....and that this is amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this work of art with us. Hugs Ethel (Psssstttt!!! When you decide to publish a whole book of your poems, please let me know....I would like to buy one if it isn't too awfully expensive.) |
