January and it brings forth a cold. White the flurries flake against a grey day And I read you Woven into the skeins of woolen words There is warmth but it does not wrap itself Around the feeble limbs of hope Yet stays a distance from the glass panes Till I am left with tears To wet the knotted rope at wrist I brought New Years in alone Among cold dark night's sky Such faint glimmer are stars To read by When desolate inside I wonder At jealous gods who taunt and the ravens Picking clean the eyes of a dead moon They are not my hands And just bones find their own justice I suppose For the answers all end within the cyclonic winds That carry destruction to any Who dare dream Without a wary eye upon the glass What matters the last breath? I no longer understand the way that twigs Or straw may be woven into a home Or how the Junco sits on drifts of snow to wait Some passing fool to throw morsels of crumb Toward the hungry flutter of heart They called for this The winter's storm that sits now heavy Upon the fey woods and matches the silence within The ends of soul But last night I dreamed of lists and names Two set apart in scribe on vellum sheet One a familiar sound upon the ear Marigold Gardinia Aloe And thyme While the other came as black clot of ink Eron Byron Petre And Mime I've nothing but the veins to connect it all Once upon a rhyme I remembered what it was to be loved To be touched when all around was crumbled And only the dust that clung to air Would settle down To watch it snow As I do Now~~~ A crush of words I do not understand And I wipe my eyes Curse the wet of hand To turn again and watch the wind Slowly drift A January snow |

Once upon a rhyme I remembered what it was to be loved To be touched when all around was crumbled And only the dust that clung to air Would settle down To watch it snow As I do Now~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is so stirring, the emotions you make me feel are somehow made beautiful. Yet still, it makes my eyes water and miss what used to be. Love reading you, cpat~ |

All right...I haven't read the others' comments... but this is so old school that it is new again, and right again, and remarkable... again. The sounds and visions, the imagery, the lust for the lost of willing is here, now, in my face, and nearly chilled by web and dust. No, this is not critical, but a great YES...this is the type of material that needs to be regenerated. Great names passed my mind as I read through this, and NO, you are not allowed to speak in deference to yourself. Not one whit. So I duly expect you to ignore my comments... because I was one of the first to say [on this particular board] PUBLISH! But I don't want to read your Pooh on my note.   |
