. How much Precious time Has been spent In contemplation The mind lost Invested With no return Because of the grace In a single gaze The way one moved Across a room Yet I’ve seen magic Without tricks performed Between solid walls And in open air When beauty Stepped into the scene And made all others Disappear So mark me down As incorrigible Let scholars scoff And cynics sneer Still even a wise man Would rather drown In Helen’s wine Than quaff Medusa’s beer . |

Even a wise man...... Ah, the little things you do slip in so seamlessly -- that's one of the things that make mere verse, which most of us write, into poetry. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
