Just this now a fantasy visionary lucid dream everything I've yet to be and all remains of "x-y-z..." I could spend ten years in pass in deepest wish of slipper's glass chanting to a bonfire lit in prayer of one last slipper's fit. I have danced with kings, enthralled, my shadows played upon the walls. Candles splay in sconce's splash-- against the brick in shadow's ash. All the jesters danced for me. All the maidens laughed with me. All my silences within? Became refrain's "begin again..." Each river that dared stain my cheek? Luna's tear--- the lover's greet. Every breath I do not breathe, each breath expelled-expectancy-- fill my lungs with air once more to sing the tunes I once foreswore. Lyric in a rusty pen. Refrain---let's sing it once again. |

I absolutely adores this poem and the insight within is incredible, I particularly loved your words here, perhaps because I have also wasted time waiting for a slipper: I could spend ten years in pass in deepest wish of slipper's glass chanting to a bonfire lit in prayer of one last slipper's fit. Great job! I loved it. |

I have danced with kings, enthralled, my shadows played upon the walls. Candles splay in sconce's splash-- against the brick in shadow's ash. =========================== All my silences within? Became refrain's "begin again..." Each river that dared stain my cheek? Luna's tear--- the lover's greet. Every breath I do not breathe, each breath expelled-expectancy-- fill my lungs with air once more to sing the tunes I once foreswore. Lyric in a rusty pen. Refrain---let's sing it once again. ============================== Unrequited defined in rhyme divine ... so many mirrors ... more reflections I wish i didnt recognize "Every breath I do not breathe, each breath expelled-expectancy--" *sigh*  meIt's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me |

Just wow - excellent emotion/phrasing in this, can you believe that I read it a day ago, but could not reply because I had to ingest your words for a while, even now, I have read it 3 times, and wow, that's all my head can think of  Take care, Melissa~ |
