wind...
a blue and silver swirl
wind
to change in pounce of twirl
a skirt
of crying
reckless now
within a spin
of universe...

Stars electric
sparking mad
a blue and silver world
gone bad--
a float of love's
incompetence
of handkerchiefs
and men I've had...

A ritual
remains the same
make it sacred
the profrane.
Let it whip
around again
and spark a flame
of perverse grin...

Let horizon mark the point.
Perspective--
be two eyes in joint.
To gaze the path
and plot my hedge...
handkerchief's
embroidered edge,
a joy of stitch
in hoop of you.
Joyous stitch
in joyous loop...
the rounds
and sounds.
the ways
of you...

and all that I have never had...

Gather me,
A handkerchief or momentary hankering
And let me wipe the tears
The memories
The sadness of thought you’re thinking,
Whirl me,
A tattered cloth to accent your dancing,
Release me when you’re done
And I’ll drift
With pleasant touches from the romancing.

========================================

this is one of the coolest metaphors and images I can think of for you to play off of....(like candles) it is so uniquely you...
and when wrapped in your rhymes divine...and kissed with your express of longing..its pure sen magic...love this one me twin...
Stevie Nicks would love this poem

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
There comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking...
I passed that point long ago

Would you believe that I'm speechless right now!? And I usually need a muzzle when it comes to your poetry

This is excellent, gawd, I know this well. You use metaphors and raw emotion to perfection. It's a keeper~

Take care,

Hey...this is one of those that was fun to write...and sort of disturbing on a re-read--grin? (blushing at the naked psychology of it) But I'm so glad you all enjoyed tripping through my corridors...thank you, makes me feel a bit better!
