Repost: Rest Awhile From hence and whence I rest awhile In fields of green of secret file And stare at different hues of blue To fantasize some phantom view Except with shovels of a wile I cannot move the jumbles pile And this I do infrequently Without the aid of wine you see I close my eyes a moment’s bliss Within that time I steal a kiss Disregard past agony And exercise my vanity I touch the edge of fantasy With lovely wiles of ecstasy And be a moment’s butterfly Just winging through a golden sky For this is what I truly need A tourniquet for human bleed |

Seymour~ You are poetically priceless~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Wonderful, dear Seymour, your flights on wings of butterfly are truly able to take away all the heaviness from existence. An excursion into fantasy is indeed what we need every now and then. Exquisite poem! One to come back to, when the sun is hiding from our view. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

S1. you saw, stared, and day-dreamed s2. You wanted to move a big pile and you could't wait to take a drink. S3. You steal a kiss and exercise more! S4. Touched (?) to get the ecstasy and wanted to fly high. last, you asked for a yearly check up ahead of time. Sir, if those are called a rest, you'd better get going. The rest would exhauste you!!!! I love to read this one. it is beautiful enjoy a wonderful day, Sir Tabin. |

I am especially fond of the ending!: "I touch the edge of fantasy With lovely wiles of ecstasy And be a moment’s butterfly Just winging through a golden sky For this is what I truly need A tourniquet for human bleed" Applause!! |
