I cannot grasp an element, nor route of verse to implement, no pattern I to cut in bless and crumple, rumples, plaintive mess I wish I pray I were more bold in patterned rhyme in time of olde and colors fast with fruit of sigh reborn in cast of nature's dye! give me now your fingertips and rub them gently on my lips all my longing--soul in sip-- give me reason to tell lie.... Kiss me, love. O kiss me twice. ...nothing, nothing... can suffice. Nothing's all I've ever known... I pack my bags. I need new home. Oh give me reason to forestep forgetting second guess regret and every hold upon the crag footstep further up the path let me at it? let me in? If this a game? I SPIN AGAIN. yet in my mind, I must surcease... I pray that I can go in peace. |

serenity, you don't need another style to show your feelings, this is done perfectly Olde language or not. Write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

It's all a game to a certain extent. Everyone seems to spin somewhere along the line.....but you know Celeste these things have a funny way of working themselves out. You have been turning out poetry like you are a word fountain lately and I have to say I have enjoyed it very much! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Lovely said. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

"let me at it? let me in? If this a game? I SPIN AGAIN." Wonderful writing Serenity! This flowed just beautifully ... I really enjoyed this piece, many applause here! Best wishes, /Kit |

funny how all those free drinks at the casino can effect you, eh? sorta makes ya look around at all those attractive men.... makes ya think.... hmmm...... makes ya think metaphorically!!! Love is a game, alright, and it's certainly a gamble and it ain't no fun playing alone so when the other person isn't playing??? spin again, my friend... spin again...

I pray that I can go in peace. =========================== oh me twin of heart and poet of mirrors ... this is so classic sen ... and so beautiful in its honesty and emotions and so perfect in its poetic graces. we all do what we gotta do to get by ... love ya Sen me You move a sudden grace, a child upon the Earth **You wanted love to find you but you found it first** And even though I'm right behind you Shadows haunt and taunt your hand I cannot be your everything But I'll be your candyman And though you cry at night It's to be expected But know you're mine tonight So when the sun has died you dive into your mind **But your soul is never lost until the deal is signed** And even though I'm right behind you Shadows haunt and taunt your hand I cannot be your everything But I'll be your candyman Candyman Vertical Horizon cd:Live Stages As sure as God made wine you can't wrap your arms around a memory In the dark for me youre the candle flame that flickers to life ~Mission UK~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 02-18-2001).] |
