Dreams speak of a greater fear; is there love in the atmosphere or simply molecular dust strumming the beat of lust in trial and test of human fools stuck in a modern day groove? Deep in the beat no dancing life can two-time a mystical mind or side step possessed duality in the swing and sway of light energy unbound by the laws of attrition in this period of transition. One, two, three, and something new disturbs the rhythm and blues and the “pretty/pretty” dancer in me surrenders up into a scream the past offbeat and lustful tunes played to death by tenuous views. Come drummer, guitarist, singer of soul, and the dancer is cast a lonesome role in love’s amazing but easy quickstep because no one can quicken footsteps when heart in slow-time decides to deny love’s ardent desire. Thus to life and the music unheard; the lustful dance undeterred misses love’s corners and bends in the throes of modern day trends and the dancer bows out defeated, her energy now depleted! Helen / 18 January 2006 – and I’m off to the sand and the sea as a welcome relief from … concrete! |

Honey-B "One, two, three, and something new disturbs the rhythm and blues and the “pretty/pretty” dancer in me surrenders up into a scream the past offbeat and lustful tunes played to death by tenuous views."

Thank you, ice. I really do appreciate the read and am so glad that you enjoyed. icebox - Thanks "muchly" and, yes, we are "only" ... but no matter - it's just important that we know it. I'll be there and here and thereabouts for the next little while - don't forget me. Helen |

Helen "Thus to life and the music unheard; the lustful dance undeterred misses love’s corners and bends in the throes of modern day trends and the dancer bows out defeated, her energy now depleted!" The music plays on in the soul of the dancer, just as love threads from one place to another with you, never dead. I hope the ocean brings you some peace and poetry.  |

Superb, Helen! And I "got" the "corners and bends" part, too. Wanted you to see this http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html . It is dust...but Icebox has a point -- so are we. But are we love? That's the question, heh. ....jo |
