The response to this in Open 8 just blew me away. I'm glad to have so many friends, and poets who understand. Mike -her silver pen, black book- Silent, softly swift and fleeting, Unbroken feelings torn and thrown. I was destroyed by love. Under the fall of a white pinnacle, Smoke rising from its inside ruin, I held a spider, waiting, weighing. For it to bite me, or move at all. But it was dead. The moon rose slowly; Put her white eye on us, a shadow. I cast the dead thing aside And sat under the white-mooned ruin, Waiting for myself to die. Then a friend opened her black book, Wrote me a poem on charcoal paper In the smooth filament of the moon. Silver ink against the black night. She spoke in her script. I felt healed. I was remade by love. |

Mike~ Enjoyed it again - yet - still !  'Then a friend opened her black book, Wrote me a poem on charcoal paper In the smooth filament of the moon. Silver ink against the black night. She spoke in her script. I felt healed. I was remade by love.'
