I caught spirit

sharp

and clean

awake
aware

and wanting me

snowflake manna
pirouette

voicing point
to arabesque

yearning
in a swan curve neck
eyes averted in demure
for no reflect
can honor such
of this
that is
so seldom seen

dervishing
of galaxies
spiral coiled gloss
coaxing
my chin to height
as it were held

by one pleased

appraisingly

as glitter from
my lashes fell
to dust my blush
with mirrorings

of ecstacy

with my eyes closed.

Beautiful!!  Incredible images Karen!
Love ya lady~

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

holding the essential without compromise, without the care to be popular...expression comes forth full circle, using languages to seek, to survive, by seizing upon some truth...you are the run away from societies logic, into simply, logic beyond logic...thoughts energised into itself, manifesation of luminous...oh lady...unique and elegant prose, wtih of course that open secret humor of yours...

serenity,
Thank you for this M'dear, I do believe
you've created a new verb ,"dervishing"!
It would be my great honor to use this word,
with your permission of course, for a Halloween poem as yet undiscribed. Pretty please?

I always give docs what they want.




Wish they'd do the same for me.


Thank everyone for reading.

Yes, sounds pretty much like the time I "caught spirit".  Remember it well for I'm pretty sure you won't see it again.  Once is enough though - right?  But we can always say it's the coffee and not the substance of ... love!

I'd like to clear something up here.

I didn't write this about the drug known as "ecstacy".

The other working title, was "how he makes me feel"

But considering my reputation, the confusion is understandable.

Thanks for reading.

I've read this a couple of times, and each time I fail to find the proper words so, will just say, as usual Karen, out of this world, and fatabulous.

I'm baffled.  I read it and read and I know that I don't have anything to say.  well anything other than this is an inspirational poem.  not everyone gets added to my library, but this is a poem to read when I'm in search of a song...

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers.

Serenity,
Your E being not available, and with your permission, I submit the following usage of your wonderfully creative verb. For you, to be reposted this Halloween...

          " Spun From Stone "

Abruptly been awakened dervishing out of a dream
with vacant eyes unfocused as of yet upon this world
To slice through fog like layers comprehension it woud seem
arrives an instant later as I peer from this fascade

With frozen stone of talons fastened tightly to this ledge
await the grip to loosen as the hour comes to close
to glide the night air currents freed again from anchorage
All Hallows' Eve rejoining this, the world of flesh and bone.

Too long enslaved by those who scurry mindlessly below
my pulse begins to quicken as I watch them from above
The dervishing intensifies each molecule aglow
long centuries behind me now I'm weightless to the skies

An instrument of mythos having found the means of flight
exhilarant I circle dervishing into the night.

Now who would guess two people could take dervishing to such a supreme level.  Heck all I ever manage to do is fall down after.

Great poem Dr. Moose sir.  She does inspire that is for sure, and this will thrill her I bet.

when speaks the swan
with wing on watery wind
I writhe in her words
as the gypsy in his violin

enjoyed you here karen

Now that is what I'd call dervishly ecstatic writing! You are in a class all your own, Serene One!

Loving Light,
