in memory of when I see a stream curling down I have to stop long enough to watch... the ever plunging revelry for a wistful eyes moment touching each verse of savory flowing text splashing over each cascading thought just below wherever ‘tis they decide to tumble free stretching across gorges flowing on idioms so effortlessly out to the deep bleu quiet calm to ne’er be felt or heard again by such as thine nor yor yet touching they my soul in such caress of way as fleeing life autumn goes wind forgotten blows e'er so gently away through alluring willow leaves dropped in delicate sharing tears of dole garbed in a tainted shackle of weep just as a sun sets mourning yet evolves on a morrow near my own dear veiled rose of frail fears so bequeath of mist soft in meek frayed threads gathering in wells of realities but this falls so hard on such vellum lines and tinder cheeks then oily dews of languish brow drops life daunt a misstep of equities sure footed candor right into sensitive laps only to brighten yon day’s pain and its mishaps still too fresh flowing swift in lucid drops as from my mother’s out of spring life of June was lost how is it then tears of joy should stream forth from eye lid’s laden pain to swell and happiness too from sorrow’s years could telling rise drop and howbeit all from the self same well ought tears need of bitter spots on grimace most grievous posed why then times so beguiling as limpid dews on lips sweet as petaled rose of yor stop 1999/04/14 08:25 Pm.
