Communication Is This A distant drum beat Pulsing through the forest Drawing a response from the natives’ heart A bee arriving On the warm summer breeze To accept the gift Of sweet pollen From the musk of the scented Orchid The squeal of the Dolphin As they race past the billowing ship Flocks of excited birds In the autumn trees Preparing for their flight To the sun and life You to me My ears devour your words Our conversations meet in mid space Words caress each other Before falling giggling To the floor Your glance melts my mask Sends pin beams to The very core of my soul I am held suspended In wracks of pure delight Awaiting your next Creation This Is Communication Jon Mewett This compleats a trilogy of this type of thing. If you would like to read the other two I've taken the liberty of posting them below. Thanks J Possession Is This The foaming sea caressing And filling the wind hewn cavern Unasked and without mercy The ashy volcanic froth pursuing And engulfing every living thing Before searing and burning it into submission The snakes’ jaws bearing upon its prey Squeezing lifeless the unknown A boulder crushing an ant In an instant of nothingness My love for you Consuming my soul Held between every beat of my heart Being expelled from my lungs With every waking and sleeping breath My mind pulsating with thoughts Of your every move Bursting through my fingertips When I touch your skin The heat of your smile The scent of you desire Is with me Every moment I exist This Is Possession Isolation Is This A small crab Washed up on a high rock The midday sun raining down upon his back An earthworm The steel hook already a part of him Dangling in his watery grave Waiting for a fish A guiltless man The noose tight around his neck The trap door creaking beneath his feet A newborn baby Fighting for his first breath In the arms of his starving mother Me without you I have no air I have no blood I have no voice I have no mind I have no touch I have no reason I have no feeling I have no will My body has no soul This Is Isolation Thanx Everybody Jon [This message has been edited by Jon Mewett (edited 04-13-2000).] |

Jon, Excellent trilogy on that mysterious subject that Women think they created and most men don't have a clue about! Wonderful imagery and flow throughout! WELL DONE! (I don't remember any of this from Communication 101 class) LOL Dennis :^) |

Great Triology....I'm sure I read the isolation one before but that sure doesn't detract from the pleasure of reading all three now. Great job, Jon! Love and hugs, Lizzie ![]() "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

If you had been reading these out loud, I would have insisted on giving a standing ovation. I applaud these excellent pieces of your work. WOW!!! MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |
