i see watercolors
fall from your eyes

landing in my
right palm

silt
and
earth

your spirit

grasped
for planting


vineyards burgeon
deep within
my ribcage
sprouting whispers

of
blood
and
sweat

my thorax
sustaining life


eternal.

littlewing,

I feel blessed to have been able to read such sweet words.

"vineyards burgeon
deep within
my ribcage
sprouting whispers"

That line is the work of a master. Great poetry! I love your graceful style.  - Ed

Was aujussy wolf joking about the 23?  You can't possibly have learnt to write so incredibly beautifully in 23 little years!

James?  *laughing here*  yeah, I wish, no I wish 26, that was a good age.  You can take that 23 - turn the numbers around and add three to that!   Thank you

Thank you Duncan, a reply from you always brings me a smile.

Kris?  A nervous breakdown?  Hmmmm . . .

Thank you, Paul!

Diana,
this made me really smile, you are so silly
TG . . . and NO, man, I wish I wish not so much 23 but another time perhaps.
Thank you for that, it truly made me smile over here.

Thank you Linda.

Hey Phil, those few lines were learned from many fine writers here.  Thank you.

Hey Donna, thank you so much!

Thanks Susan so much.

Thanks guys . . .

Awesome writing, Sue...
