Daemon A daemon seems to stay my way And eats the shadows of my stay I feel the battle’s gone full tilt And I am in a stage of wilt. I’m caught a web that circles round That fills the air and lives the ground. A field of lilies fills the glen And daffodils won’t bloom again. Weary lies across my back Outs the candle leaving black Numbing all the senses bare And stifling the very air My lance is down I feel a clown The moon is up the sun is down. I gallop at the circles edge And have no favor or a pledge. Allurements wings are sore with play I cannot find the light of day. |

Stinky-love...if I give you hugs and butterfly kisses will you smile and find your dragon's wile for me. |

JM, I'll pay a visit to my Isle The one that stores my Randy wile For those flowers of my mind Are surely of another kind. Winkiewinkie Stinky. |

Seymour darling boy, even when your muse is weary you still manage to lift the day. How do you chase the grey from the sky? Well, however you do it you succeed darling boy. One day I shall read one of your poems and say Oh that’s not as good as his usually are? ………. And that day will be when the earth stops turning time rolls backwards, the sun falls from the heavens and the rain falls up. Absolutely wonderful exquisite writing, I love it. Has the smile returned to warm your eyes and settle briefly on your lips? I hope so 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 |

If daffodils won't bloom again I'll still have Seymour's trusty pen To brighten a cloud-laden sky And make me glad that I stopped by. Questions pondered, demons faced... So many varied subjects graced With his attention... we all gain... May his great talent never wane. |

A daemon seems to stay my way And eats the shadows of my stay I feel the battle’s gone full tilt And I am in a stage of wilt. We reap what we sow and if all the tender loving care doesn't keep us from wilting, then I guess it's time to plant new seeds. But I do know the disappointment after putting in so much time. I really like that pen you write with Mr. Tabin.! |
