there was duct tape on my mouth
only the wind could carry my voice
perhaps you fetched a bottle
from the ocean of our distance
and read of my love words
with your finger ends

I dug for dreams there
in the night sky
and precious metals
were shimmer song voices
I molded them into my wants
and did you extend your wrist

did you say let me wear them
let me dance with my hands
over my shadow's mind
and brush his beard
with the ends of my desire
let me bring him peace

with the sides of my sighs
or was that another woman
that stepped from another lady
and danced another dance
for another lover
did she wear some other jewelry

than what I made from my dreams

Just when I thought I knew where it was headed, you turn 180 and add this

with the sides of my sighs
or was that another woman
that stepped from another lady
and danced another dance
for another lover
did she wear some other jewelry

VERY COOL!!  I always enjoy you pennings as they have your unique style and twist.  This was no exception and a pleasure to read.

Hmmmm - this one makes one think, and I've decided *she* must have danced for *your* dreams -

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

Some times you can make a dream what you want, and other times the dream makes you.

sometimes it just all comes together

well, I'm going deeper with this one...and perhaps, I'm missing the entire idea which you have projected...but....

with every moment, there is constant change, within us...around us...hopefully we grow older and wiser?  smiles...but the thought that this one projected is this...
She is and was, as we all our, multiples of feelings...emotions...and so the lady was the person of your dreams, but within herself...she was others to, that you probably couldn't see at the time...lets face it, if love were perfect...we'd have a lot less divorce rate.  hehe...but unfortuately when two people meet, love "is" blind...and when we wake up, all of a sudden, we go...opps...who is this person I've been so very intimate with?  Who is this person I shared self with?  Is this person responsible enough to value my needs...desires...we don't seem to take enough time to evaluate this, before.  And love must be mutual, in emotions, feelings, beliefs or there will be troubles.  Love must be tendered and realized communication, and a genuine ability to give as well as take?  I'll shut up now...


Well, anyway...thanks for evoking these thoughts and for your always genious words.

Hugs

Thanks again to all of you for your eyes...and ms Lee J...

lovers touch
with thoughts
hoping the other
can feel them
and will wear them
like diamonds
