the flesh of hurt |

here is how I hurt in the memory of such orchids they bleed like innocence's some element of color blue, green, pink their flesh of winter/s I hurt because I can because it bears no witness to my tongue because it bears no witness to the glass that shatter/s but the memory is there in some silver light that begs my attention in your palm; like a child praying the rain storms breathe heavy wrapped in their own small language a cradle of some love, long forgotten how precious the blue; your color, when I remember such visions to behold once more I am tangled in some color of the moon some pureness wishing and waiting for the rise the seek of long hours -- ineach garden to lay beneath my sleep the sorrow of my dreams hovers over the green song when I can rise and say there is no darkness in my nightmares but I am a reckless soul searching for the secret learning the speech of echoes in such rivers when you come bearing wildflowers & hold your palms closed— when will my eyes forget the difference between night and day— the same greenweave I've made I imagine you at the edge of my language your reflection stirring the day before the world can translate a meaning and daylight falls dusk to twilight in silvermemory ~~**~~ I never let one moment define me, I define myself by all moments and how they teach and touch me......02 |

Visionary poet of moving lines dancing in the mind of your Uni-Verse. These lines caught me and held me. "learning the speech of echoes in such rivers when you come bearing wildflowers" |

Greeneyes - you have created a poem worthing of being framed and placed where all can read it. This is excellent... BC |

I think this is the title of your next book? Just fabulous Lauren, loved too many lines to pick just one or two. |

I find myself swept along with the beauty of your words and phrases. They kind of haunt me as I read and then I find myself mesmerized by how you put it all together. Reading your poetry is like looking at a beautifully wrapped present - I want to just take it in before I open it. xoxoox Alison |

How did I ever miss this? Wow. Speechless. Except to say, "I hurt because I can" is one of the most powerful single lines I have read on here. |

Oh My Gumbo (confuzzled smiley face). I'm in the presence of alien magic. I see work like this and realize how far I have to go. Humbling. ·´~`·»Garapan«·´~`· |
