~*~ City lights disappear in the mirror as dark skies fade in the moonlight. White water breaks on midnight waves where the road curves and bends, seemingly endless along an ocean of highways. The hush of whispers murmurs in the fog intermingle. A dance per chance under sequined stars a wander lust drifts floating on high over a blanket of clouds my heart rests uninspired. The wind blows a warm rain washing away love without tears. In time the summer of my storm evaporates into thin air. ~*~ |

It sounds like a cleansing renewal to me! You are back in your groove bluesie girl. I like that.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

A most interesting ‘write!’ I am especially fond of: “City lights disappear in the mirror as dark skies fade in the moonlight. White water breaks on midnight waves where the road curves and bends, seemingly endless along an ocean of highways.“ AND: that “hush of whispers Murmur(ing) in the fog” Applause!! |

I frequently have a problem trying to catch the breath and flow of poems that use the centered format, but this one moves beautifully. |

Hey RC, I am so guilty of centering every dang thing I ever wrote. Like it enhances my efforts and makes it read more like a poem....probably not! I'm sure glad you caught the breath and the flow to this one anyway. Thank you, sincerely~ Me? A real poet?! *cough* I'm glad you're here too, garapan. It's a combination of poets and their poetry that make for the passion you know. Thank you~ steavenr~ You have no idea how your reply makes me feel, that you really liked what I wrote? Seriously, sometimes I'm uncertain if I have conveyed what I'm feeling and if my poetry actually reads the way I want it to. It is the light that I was drawn to, and the fact that I've almost reached the end of the tunnel. Thanks for picking up on that. I so appreciate your warm reply. |

Bluesy - You haven't lost your poetic touch! "In time the summer of my storm evaporates into thin air." Yes, as all storms do but when we're in them they seem endless. I guess we just have to know them and then in time we'll see them for what they really were - just a passing "thing" that made us "think". Another welcome back from me to you. Hugs Helen |

Such is, the calming comfort under raven colored skies, isn’t it. With nothing but you and the salty wind in your hair, feeling the ebb and the flow of swollen swells against mistress shore And the moaning rhythms of longing tides Dance with the beauty my Seranta Bleu, that we feel from your heart and hold, from your loving spirit Soft toes, the harsh night, wet sands, and, lost thoughts All displayed by the moon in your shimmering dreams atop glistening waves for you to see Step into them, and let the spray of water’s edge lave over bypast’s design While the soothing winnows of lover’s breeze Lays kiss upon your nape And holds those, who share But never meet Together, embracing, Till the day after, forever |

Helen, thank you, yes you're so right. Nothing lasts forever, and sometimes that's a good thing. You and your words of wisdom always make me smile. Richy dear Man~ You are so very thoughtful and always so charming. Again, I am somewhat lost for words, just know I'm keeping that up there to read over and over. It is lovely, and you make me feel special. Thank you for everything.  |

Awww… that little guy on the left is the luckiest little smiley in the whole world! Ah heck, I’m just going to push him to the side and sneak my own cheek in there lol. The perpetual peck from the pretty poetess! (a little quiet please, I’m trying to have a moment here… * deep sigh *) |
