Twilight The twilight of my night is here I cannot make it disappear. I weigh me down a leaden crown It makes me often feel a clown. It vacillates nearly do The impossible of you Impregnates a dossal mind Makes a knot of hopeless bind. We butterfly in golden skies And siphon off the bilge of why But a tail too long upon a kite Makes for a hazy crazy flight. And though delight would ever dare It must in flight a sober air. Or turn in flash and spiral down To soon to crash upon the ground And though I feel the phantoms flight Some how I know, it is not right. |

Seymour darling boy, what a delight to have my day made complete again by having your words scattered before me like a delicious buffet. At which I nibble and taste the cornucopia of delight that is a poem by you. You know I really do adore this poem, something about this particular one calls to me. It has a different though familiar feel, familiar in the attitude not the words they are most definitely your own. Be that as it may it has a piquancy that is truly you. Makes for a hazy crazy flight. And though delight would ever dare It must in flight a sober air. Or turn in flash and spiral down To soon to crash upon the ground And though I feel the phantoms flight Some how I know, it is not right. Something that is eternally right is your writing, as always it is absolutely excellent. Stunningly good writing    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

 (sigh) This is so sadly beautiful, sweet friend, every joy may have some kind of twilight every now and then, but as long as we believe in ourselves and hold our memories and dreams dear, it will be much more than a phantom thought always! (big hugggsssss) This is superb, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

We butterfly in golden skies And siphon off the bilge of why But a tail too long upon a kite Makes for a hazy crazy flight. Sounds like a great poetic flight, Sy...  ~flying hugs~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Seymour, As always, your poetry is a breath of fresh air. Funny how we sometimes take flight on our own wings, but forget to check the engine before take-off. Excellent write, as always. Take care .~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |

It vacillates nearly do The impossible of you Impregnates a dossal mind Makes a knot of hopeless bind. Love your craftmanship and the way you put your words together. It is truly a fine art. Well said and done Mr. Tabin~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (04-05-2002 01:19 AM).] |
