Elizabeth It was a strange mist that drifted through That moment I laid eyes on you. We met before in sweet adore And ever since have had rapport With memories posted on your brow I read all those you would allow With hardships of the distance sphere A fear came very close to near. When in the misty glistening heard? The chirping of an early bird The crunch of sunlight eating gray With entrance of the light of day And time melted from my goal And light, lit my inner soul A silent tear formed in my head Your eyes that welcomed me instead Forgive me friend the time between It’s something that I should have seen. |

May I pick, then, a new favorite poem one that sees me safely home? A time of rhyme that heeds the need of all I want, and all I read... |

Seymour darling boy and keeper of dreams, YOU know I’d love this. As I believe I’ve mentioned once or twice before YOU can really write, this is utterly outstanding. Your use of form and line simply cannot be bettered, you paint with words darling heart almost as well as you paint with love. The strokes of your pen sketch in the outline, then with your masterly use of words you bring the picture to life. Utterly utterly exquisite writing xxxxxx Make my eyes shine and my body so Pliant and ready to welcome you Feel the touch of this coming through Paint me poet, add colour to my face Let my breath exhale my pulse race Daub me with you artistic skill Paint me poet show me your will Sketch me poet write my eye’s sight Draw me into the shade of night Paint the sound of laughter’s voice Learn to touch the soul of choice Draw me poet, draw the line of me Paint me waiting for opportunity Sketch me poet my form and line Daub me in attitudes of sweet sublime 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 |

Sy, "Crunch of sunlight eating gray" Delightfully your phrases play In spectrum's field of bright display Upon my waking of the day No words could match your gentle pen That plucks the thoughts of where and when That hang from morning glory's vine And twists them in a verse that's mine Thank you, dear friend Your Poetry is the best Liz |

Mushy, There is no doubt you are a delight and my Randy is blowing smoke and pawing the ground. But Tinkerbell has me bound. You are my Alice in wonderland. My Cheshire that winks within my open soul. My everyday muse and goal. So we can play in phantoms land and strike up a tune that's grand. ![]() |

Elizabeth, You are a love a velvet glove And coo the coos of a dove. Your rhyming is beyond compare You know I really don't compare. It was a blessing to see you again and I am so glad you are doing well Keep in touch if you can and let me know what is happening. Love Sy |
