Bring Me a Ribbon

Bring me a ribbon to tie up my hair.
It falls around in such open display of May,
brushing out the open door looking for the sun in shine,
like a jungle of tendrils it is wild.

Smooth this burst of skin to soft,
I am feeling like warm wood
and the air dusts me with the sound of flying things,
feathered and silver wrapped the sky sings to my dimension.
I would go toward your ocean and be sand,
for there are pearls in your eyes that see such things
that magic drops her wand and watches
how you break into my castle.

If you tie me in ribbons I would like them green,
then they would pull you to my eyes
where you would climb with your words
still open and waiting fall.

I would like them green.

Oh Martie this was simply lovely, and brought to mind my Jenna, for she used green ribbons in her hair, so I thank you for that memory too.

I think ribbons must reach out of your poem... for something drew me in to find pearls. *S* This is beautiful, Martie. *S*

My dear friend, I would imagine that you could ask anything when asked such as this, and they would fall over themselves to present it, wrapped and bowed, to lay at your feet...

mmm mmm mmm ... I remember being this inspired

and now I am GREEN with poetic envy...
this is a sigh waiting to happen.

How long can a girl be haunted by you ...
