Because I love you, I hope you stay clean and crisp in white eyelet smelling feint and daintily of sweet honesty and vain talcum blush upon your cheeks. Pick flowers for the daisy chain in grassy meadows where the rains are giggle-skied naivete of gently falling sustenance on your tongue that lied to me when you said you'd always care. Because I love you I do pray you'll never know that rock you found that day we played upon the mound was probably the stone of graves of warriors that died as they faced the white I let you say was proof superiority-- a relic of the blood the ground had swallowed for your innocence... nurturing the daisy chain. And know it is because I care I told the truth of when and where knowing that the cost would be the loss of love you had for me before I showed you nakedly scars of my complexity knowing that our difference would erect the hateful fence division of morality of what was and what should be - contemptuous disparity articulate in clarity as you broke the daisy-chain: "Wildflowers are weeds," you said, "and you're the blossom of bad seed." So off I went to ride the wind. But trust that I'll be back again. Get yourself a hoe, m'friend, and don't forget the diligence -- bad ass grass grows through the fence. * * * |

If it weren't for the strength of your commitment to him, I would suggest making a new daisy chain of flowers without any of his weeds getting in them choke and bind the generous loving nature of you. Linda |

it isn't called ignorance because "they" get it. and when you "divorce" them for it they blame everything else. I am saving this one to print out. I love you "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

I know as I click on a Serenity Blaze poem, that I am in for excellence - whether sadness with bubbles of humour, or happiness with tinges of pain - but ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS unique, honest, brilliant and spell-binding. And this was all of the above par excellence! Much enjoyed, Karen. - Owl |

Grinning at your bad-ass-grass metaphor, and dittoing Karilea's BRAVA! You ARE truth and DARE personified, lady Serenity. |

chuckling... I love when I have fun writing something, and this isn't one that I'd call my best, but I'm timidly learning to let myself relax a bit more at the keys. Thanks for the encouragement, mah lovely peops! Love to all! |
