Origami Dream My life is folded around what's wanted To be those three little words-- I Love You. From one nimble sheet, my soul is daunted In muscles contorted without sinew. Like thrown confetti aloft in the street-- Floating, weightlessness, yet I am not torn. A paper phoenix fashioned heart complete, Desire alive, ablaze, but not reborn. Fragile wings designed of papier-mâché Rose me up from this hell-- I've flown away. -Lighthouse Bob |

I really liked this one and wished I will go look for more of yours, I especially loved this as it sums up the art perfectly: "Like thrown confetti aloft in the street-- Floating, weightlessness, yet I am not torn" This was beautifully done, thank you. If you have a choice to sit down or dance, dance! |

In muscles contorted without sinew. Like thrown confetti aloft in the street-- Floating, weightlessness, yet I am not torn. A paper phoenix fashioned heart complete, Bob some well written images, I really enjoyed this alot. "Here I am in prison,here I am with a ball and chain There is whiskey in the jar-o" Traditional irish song. |
