Rip’ed

2:30 o’dark chance meetings
determined clouding when
east meets west
with northern cold
and southern warmth

kaleidoscoped sounds deafening
through layers of dream
jagged streams of electric waking

where did my dream go,
the one that brought you
here, now that my warm has
been disrupted

a cry of want is silenced

in my stumble and bumble
to disentangle,
to peer with precise profundity

at nature in its entire

for this is when all is small
and insignificant

this is the moment
my child comes forth in delight
while Rip talks to me again,
my own Wolf standing beside me
in silent watch,

he chants of ninepins
by strange men playing,
thus is my impression
of a sundered morn

of thunder
and Rip
and how much deeper
all stories go

Decca darling girl this is utterly utterly wonderful I love it, one of your best I think. So beautifully free, so full of light and image. It’s utterly utterly divine and I love it. Oh what joy has caressed my eye this day, left on this page I’m spellbound by such awesome writing. When you write a dream you write like a dream, perfect writing

This is utterly utterly fabulous writing. The flow of this as always outstanding. I utterly utterly love it


Love and warm stuff
As always

ms deca

a storm, bowling and old Rip Torn movies?

they say if you mix your meds that will happen?

in my dreams it is just harley's and bad girls in gold chains and high heel shoes

so I sleep as often as I can....even when riding ..

cool stuff

Sy, so kind of you to place your hand in mine, thank you for the eyesight...

Mushy, you are over-exuberant but we all love it, thank you...

Martie, sometimes my muse plays with me, sometimes it plays with others thank you!...

DS - you need to study your childhood stories, certainly this has nothing Torn about it, unless it left you itching at a scratch you can't reach...LOL...thanks for the read...

old Rip Van Winkle
were you there when he awoke
or were you napping

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

ROFL@rip torn!!!

the following is one of the clearest, most poetic lines i've seen
quote:
thus is my impression
of a sundered morn
not only does it follow the concept, but fits so much imagery and emotion into a few words. i like this a lot!

I can hear the thunder of the bowling...
Nine Pins....such a game...

Said but not said,  in such a poetic fashion
by a master...

If we could only see
below
what the iceberg
life
holds in floating
reach
within to see without
perspective
forever growing a dream to be
knowing

Where rainbow touches earth
place your foot upon the light illuminating forever- EternitysHorizon
Often see, rarely touched
Rise if ye seek to see
