What's to Say |

What’s to Say Each day I find there’s less to say The words mind up then drift away But words are words and rhymes are rhymes And these are not the best of times. They whirl like snowflakes gently do Twirl and swirl and blanket view. Cover all my dark of mind All the things I left behind. I find myself seeking grace A little plot in Eden’s place Searching for lost daffodils Among the lilies yellow frills With butterflies that fly about To mesmerize my aging doubt To warm my senses in the sun And lift me up like I was one. And I cry out, please wait for me I can fly, just wait and see. |

Each day I find there's less to say The words mind up then drift away But words are words and rhymes are rhymes And these are not the best of times. =================================== Cover all my dark of mind All the things I left behind. I find myself seeking grace A little plot in Eden's place Searching for lost daffodils Among the lilies yellow frills With butterflies that fly about To mesmerize my aging doubt ==================================== And I cry out, please wait for me I can fly, just wait and see. ==================================== "To mesmerize my aging doubt" ~~~~ There are times when no words will be needed ... when unspoken trust will be understanding pleaded then seeded. There are times when you take my words away ... along with my breath ... I lack the rhymes to convey. Sometimes words would never truly do you justice ... still we search for the truth that poetry entrusts us. Trust me when I tell you my sweet Sy ... (yes, you can indeed fly high) By gifted pen your name is written across my sky. ~~~~ *winkiewinkie* |

Seymour darling boy, firstly I must say sorry for not being here yesterday, I know I had an appointment to meet you in the land of wonders but I had a slight family crisis. Something had to give and much as I regretted it that something was PiP’s. As always this is truly divine, you always caress my heart with the softest touch clothed in the deepest thought. How do you do that I wonder? Well, no matter you do, time after time. You know I love your writing darling heart this is exquisite work, even if it’s a little triste, all you have to do darling boy is let the fire maiden in and you won’t be triste anymore, you wouldn’t feel tired either Isabelle wouldn’t mind I’m sure Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

What Janet Marie said Your words flit across these pages and we are the recipients of your gift of words. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
