The Tilt of Scale |

The Tilt of Scale On a frisky divvy scale of schemes Blind justice feels and weighs my dreams I kiss her cheek in tender weep The joy of wiles that I can reap She knows fare well the things I do The love and mischief that I brew The kingdoms that I rave declare My only love my maiden fair. She smiles in Braille my tilt of scale And laughs inside my lusty sail She favors me a willows weep Serendipity of my sweep She loves the gestures of amour Coup of a lover’s magic store The fire and brand of its stand That procreates this earth and land. So I tilt her scale with many wiles And she answers me with many smiles. |

In this realm of justice's call I shall wrap this weighty shawl and keep this treasure as my own "The Golden Key", a second home! Keeping this one, too! |

On a frisky divvy scale of schemes Blind justice feels and weighs my dreams ================================ She knows fare well the things I do The love and mischief that I brew The kingdoms that I rave declare My only love my maiden fair. She smiles in Braille my tilt of scale And laughs inside my lusty sail She favors me a willows weep Serendipity of my sweep =================================== The fire and brand of its stand That procreates this earth and land. So I tilt her scale with many wiles And she answers me with many smiles. ==================================== Do you know how cool you are? Do you know how cool this line is? "She smiles in Braille my tilt of scale" How could "she" not smile at you? Who could resist your wiles? ("not I" said the moth) *L* ~~~ They say both love and justice are blind... makes us crazy ... makes us leave good sense behind. We are all searching for a moment of kind... a place where we can find contentment defined. I dont know if justice will remind... I dont know if she can save mankind. All I know is in your rhymes I can unwind ... the scales never fail to balance when our minds entwine. *winkiewinkie* how about how good it feels to finally forgive you |

JM has a way of not only saying it all, but expressing how your poems make us all feel but also allowing me to me exhale all at one time You get two hugs for this and did I ever tell you I love your poetry? I also don't know if love or justice will ever save mankind either. Wonderfully done Sy. ~* Sharon *~ |

Justice is preening at this one, Seymour. *S* And she's not the only one smiling. *S* Well done! |

Hmmm...is that a good thing or a bad thing? LOL, oh well either way I am just me I guess, and this happened to speak volumes to my feelings today on what I was thinking actually. I printed this out and maybe I read more into it than was there, but somehow your words felt almost comforting today in this very crazy world. ~* Sharon *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (03-28-2002 05:53 PM).] |
