What fine weave these words we write Knowing the weft of them to simply be a dream Never spun on wheel or held in hand But of gossamer and stars, of sky and wind We see or feel yet cannot hold Or wear to cover the naked real Along the warp we bleed Staining stark white with set aside moments Hoarded along with 12 pieces of silver And the coins to weight the eyes when alone We must pay the ferryman his toll Or wait upon the shore Between abyss of lost, and absinth of heart Such a ransom costs To preserve an innocent enclave As we hide the fear among shiny syllables Tying to threads with delicate knots Ententred sounds the lips seek to form But are interred underneath the beads clicked rhythmically In prayers to Virgin clothed in shroud of grace Oh we pray And sew the delicate ends of days to fine words Worn upon the tongue just long enough For thread count souls to hold a pause And let the heart believe Faith can be wrapped on bolt then measured By the span of hand along the throat When resolute the nouns Become names for What has never Been Still I dream Letting shuttle take its path to carry another strand And tamp it back in tight lay before the treadle push Then breathe in the fine lint as comes From the weave of you in me To tell another fairy tale that finds discarded ends A confession of needles stitched on page Without absolution for coveting the space Between lines The loom clup-clicks on And I am drawn back to watch the flaws ensconced Within this weave On yet another Empty page |

I smiled after reading this....made me think of all the happiness/sorrow one puts into writing - into filling the empty page. There are places in the heart that do not yet exist; suffering has to enter in for them to come to be - LeonBloy |

EBM.. you are entirely too kind ma'am... but thank you for your reply. I don't see much to be amazed or inspired by in my scribbles, so it is always a surprise to me if someone does. |

(chuckling) thank you Ms 'Kissed... "most pleasing scribbles" sounds a bit like an add for crayons... "Mom, don't miss out on giving your child the most pleasing scribbles available!" "For only 9.99 plus shipping and handling, your child will get a box of 64 colors to playfully mark on walls, color in the grout of tiles, or draw their very own mosaics on your floor" you are kind ma'am....and please pardon my absurd sense fo humor, no disrespect is meant at all... |

Along the warp we bleed Staining stark white with set aside moments Hoarded along with 12 pieces of silver And the coins to weight the eyes when alone We must pay the ferryman his toll Or wait upon the shore Between abyss of lost, and absinth of heart Do you ever read lines and have them sink so perfectly into your mind it feels they were written to fit those exact neurons? *S* If you do, then you know what these lines were to me... cool drink after drought. *S* |

I love where your mind goes and how you express and expose human emotions. You really gotta stop referring to your poetic gifts as "scribbling". What you share on these blue pages is very speical. warm hug~ |
