Stone upon stone I stack lifeless emotions This granite expression I now create Could not be carved more perfectly By unforgiving hand Exposing the fractures Fissures Faults Dreams run and weave in marbled pattern My hand runs uneven along their surface Lips meet a cooled slab void of pulse Dead weight To heavy to move by myself So chisel I hold And begin to carve In hope to bring life to a heart of stone Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart.

Wonderful metaphors all the way through Ron ..that's the beauty of writitng, those tools of description are available to create an impression on the readers perspective. "Dreams run and weave in marbled pattern, My hand runs uneven along their surface." Good writing!! I enjoy the humility that most poets display in their work because without humility we can never really realize the talents of our fellow poets. This poem has a very humble ending but a very strong ending...ethome |

Sigh. I can relate Ron... well done with this, well done.. K The wind shifts like this: Like a human without illusions... This is how the wind shifts: Like a human, heavy and heavy, Who does not care. W.S |
