Glancing into those dark eyes, calmness washed over me,disarmed, descending deeper into bliss beyond comprehension. Standing motionless in the tar black boat,he suddenly held out a brown wethered gloved hand. Willingly i took it, stepping into the vessel, sitting, he stood above me and pushed off from the shoreline, soon we were afloat on waves of jet ink. Slowly the rythym built, my heart in its tune, thud and clump of wood, liquid lap light then loud, silver the sky coruscated behind the riverman, momentarily we slowed, dark towering trees tangled from the bank shadowing the argent light, the riverman looked down, those eyes, spark dark burned truth fires into my soul, forging freedom from some distant point, voices hushed as if carried on the wind, it was the riverman. Looking, his lips moved no murmur, moving through my mind, whispered words spoke to me, becoming louder, until i at last heard the rivermans voice ''are you afraid?'' he said to me.... music was my refuge.i could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness - Maya Angelou [This message has been edited by Goldenrose (12-18-2012 09:47 AM).] |

I feel like I am on the boat with you and the riverman. I like the eeriness of your writing. You do it well. ~V~ Life is a great big canvas-Throw all the paint on it you can. |

Loving this series of poems. Like Victoria, I was moving down the river with you and just a tiny bit afraid!  Merry Christmas, Goldenrose~  |

You know I think I'm afraid to give an answer to that question, but the asking sent a thrill through me, as said above I felt "in the boat" as well, a poem is a sigh |
