In Your Poetic Mind

Silence

I spun this out of black and silver

to shape some color of gray

my fingers have the need of touch

he understands the connection

I prefer his laugh
in fragments of day for he

captivates me

like rain disappearing
into the blue of dusk
beauty of images
rich shades of darkness

I try but often fail
to catch the sound of their shapes
on my tongue --

echo too faint
over each
like

slow change of color
in Septembers light  

absorbing fibers
of each hand  beyond
the shadows defined in
traces   of   air


breathing in


{that his words
have stirred this heart}


I place you there

beauty filling eyes to

seep the ashes of warmth

as if you were never alone

while the sky stirs blue
~


I pray for sleep
that I may awake again
to gentle eyes

so winter will not need a reason

to stand alone
~~**~~

{Greatly Inspired and Muse Dedicated}


I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

Your words breathe life, like the softest breeze that goes unnoticed,
easing this weary heart of mine.

I love when that happens.

And you, lovely lady, stirred up something wistful inside with this...

lovely is love and looks fine on you m'friend, and reads so smooth, like chocolate moose going down.

I curtsey.

Mmmmmm - sigh.  Your words drape like satins and silk in their flowing beauty.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
