You don't really think that you
are shedding light on me through "truth"
as you see it, prismed by
the tears of lies in gaveling
I'm laughing 'till it hurts
(it hurts)
The atom was not split
but burst

by the hone-edge point of quill

feathering the sky.

The sharpness of a true quill
leaves one to reflect on the damage
it could actually do...

as well as the love it would
float in and upon.

The point of your quill
will always be sharp but always
filled with truth ink.

*smile*

When I have to think harder about a reply than what I wrote?

I feel like I mucked up.



Um...did that mean you liked it?

Sweetheart, you've never let me down, ever!

You pull so much into play
and especially even more with your
"short" poems, that one can dive deeply
and come up gasping.

That kinda goes with your long poems, too...

but there are breaths inbetween the long ones,
and not so much time to breathe with the short ones.

Dang, but you're GOOD!





And yes, I will return to the Lounge, soon!

You know me, and so you know I like to write on various levels at once (I'm a huge fan of tri-level chess) but this one was so easy to me...

my sister Cath? smile...oh I miss her.

She feather painted her walls, spanish style, gold on faux stucco (a suburban nightmare?) but it actually looked lovely when she was done...

even the prisms that hanged from her lamps are in this poem.

But really, the point of it was we can't help affectation (or effect)

when we write, we control one end only.

So yeah...



love ya lady!

I think you "got" it!

*hugs*

..."we control one end only".
I like that a lot!
Enjoyed your quill tonight,
and I humbly thank you.
