In Your Poetic Mind

Black boxes of night
empty  each
from cold   unyielding eyes  
pressed against    shadows
within-   absent-    slow bending
this, my skin of  river,
   stretching    stone -
rough      beneath  the unwilling soul

Whose hands you have held

straying  and wading through branches

of  unforgiving time -waiting to steal

any chance of happiness

pieces of my memory
float  toward earth  
trampled  under feet
never learning to stop

I invite you in, to soak  through  waters

of life-- given like a good poem to

fall soft from your lips

your stars arefalling ----black & light

with movement from crimson center

separating         air and water on thin lines


I have such     empty hands facing skyward -
do they too feel damp against
your shadow



Tomorrow, the world will begin again
the grass will turn implausible green

yet

even after the petals have fallen
we remember why love began
the original sin --

Trace the glimpse of dragonflies
skimming water --  with their wings --

here, where only stillness remains

I stay

I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone

I cannot wait until we get internet set up at home so I can come in more often. I know I have missed many of your poems due to no access and I can't wait for the chance to catch up.  All your poems are just lovely!  

I tell you that every time I respond don't I?  I must sound like a broken record by now lol.

Lest we ever forget those magical moments,
that would draw us into the stillness and hold us captive.

Beautiful writing, and so very lovely, lady Lauren~

Sounds like a good place to stay.  How beautiful your words!
