In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2006-05-27 01:19 PM



Searching for Oz  Series


~~
Justin,


~~

This,

this memory
that dwells between the first
and last drop of each rain

                      empty in its own darkness


I use to dream to see myself
for every quiet moment
for every moment of peace

now:
                      for every moment we pretend to be

so a breeze can have ribbons
we cover truth
we hide fear
but we remain; we are

tears of sadness shattering           the window/s
broken glass from a distance
as blue explodes

you watch me;  you press your palms for understanding

I am alone
thespeckled glass

                       bare

yet; still
a rainbow inside
a crimson star
the wait of discover

emerald/s leave/s the night silent
                       day/s unaware

                       wondering why so many hunger

and you? you come in the name of peace
and laugh with your hidden smile

I strive to overcome you
but I am weak

if you could understand,  and leave my mind
the uncounted structure of my wish
will hide between our memories
and night will divide
my soul
an angel lost
till I part from me
and visit each star

you placed within my reach

because somewhere deeper
then we know
we love
we are
we remain

this memory

This brought a tear to my eye - so sorrowful and yet so beautiful to read.....Your imagery, tone, expression and presentation are as always beyond compare....I've been reading your poetry for years now, and I truly wish that I can better myself as a poet and write with the depth that you possess

I'm saving this~

I had to come find one of yours...
the imagery in this defines ethereal beauty.

and this line...

so a breeze can have ribbons


thats groovier than I have words for.  
Hey pretty lady...hope life is treating you kind...so lovely to read you.

The bad news is you make us wait so long for the next posting.  The good news is that it is always oh so worth the wait when it arrives!  Your whispering shouts rainbows and aches oceans.
