In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2005-02-14 01:11 AM



wanted:

rivers  that craved stones to blur darkness

              so I placed      you       there :

in stars and wild flowers
      waves of   stormy seas

how different the beach looked
when you were walking it

even

dreamed of your death
           how my images wrap you
in purple light
and red flowers
   wading through fog

now


          I too have fallen        back on silence,

I would give all of mine
for one taste of your tears,
  shapes which no longer fill
summer rain

  

I sat alone  in darkness


    waiting  

for poetry to write you back to me

but you learned how to fly

&my dusty wi
ngs were no match
~
I fell before


reaching        wind


~~*~~
the wind sings with the calm
tranquilize in the night
sien beauty on my lips
~~**~~

I cannot select any aspect or part of this poem that I liked better than the other. All of it was truly remarkable. I stand in awe of your unique turns of phrases.

P.S. That is another fine photo of you!

excellent opening.

the rest works well, but I have to say, opening like that leaves a lot to live up to!

loVe this opening. i rarely say this, but I wish I'd written it...

Among the kingdom of the winds ...
perhaps there is one of elegant mind,
who has no need to intrude on the solitude of single things.

Oh, not so.....you have that gift, to fly with words. These do, and almost everything you write does fly.....sometimes it's hard to see that in our own work, but that's what friends are for, eh? To remind us of who we really are, when we forget.

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

only in the heart can one find words like these ....

      and only in ones soul can such words come to life ....

               .... once in a lifetime ....
