Midnight Waltz Thick night weaves it's gloves blind around my face - Somewhere, I welcome it's echo calling to me like the enchantment of lovers in screams repressed to my own awareness The moon entreats "Reveal yourself!" Yet in fear's eclipse, I hide the hollows crying from between my bones Emptiness shudders Restlessness, my partner, tripping over time Where is equanimity's hand that I may waltz steady into dreams, where heroes wait, where my own cape is alive and full of magic that we may stride in dance upon this moonbeam? I curse the gravity mating with my feet The stars slip in their haste as night rises within me a thousand fireflies bound despite my own infinity... |

MY GOD. I have watched you for over a year now and you have leaped, leagues and bounds, beyond all that I could expect of a poetess. Your metaphor and imagery astound me. I need not quote your verse which has moved me, merely allow me to say that this is absolutely the best I've read from you since our first meeting at the roundtable. If ever I reach this perfection, just shoot me. |

You asked on one of the forum if anyone is posting free verse. You are - and it's the best I've read in a very long time. The imagery is beautiful, I could see it as I read it! Magnificent! |
