Tarnished this sky A mottled madness of greys and greens It glowers an almost sigh to the day As it threatens to turn the landscape Into winter shades of pale If I close my eyes and let dream I can picture how it might be A fire to warm chilled hands A hot mug to hold as words were spanned Between the divided lips in an architecture Laced with curved vowels to hold straight Lines of thought to each Just as our finger might twine Joining the bones and flesh in an interlocking hold Tender of the way too hard and we bruise Too little We slip and fall Bringing down the girders and trusses As have underpinned these verbs Could I pull some magic cloth from drawer To polish the shine of sky I might see the silver of such linings fairy tales told But I am too human for so much hope As leaves one drunk or wandering lost And instead look for the swirl of clouds And wait for snow To carry my thoughts along the gentle path Of how you’d feel next to me Speaking soft tones The touch of fingers to cheek Engraved upon the face of this day Are filigrees and the soft arc of lines Bending my thoughts into a pattern not to be found In some hidden attic where grandchildren play But in the treasured pieces of sterling Memories I have of you |

I know how you are about compliments...  Suffice to say, I appreciate the imagery and how you make words appear in person.  |
