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.

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.

Severn,
You are a dear and one of my butterflies.


JM,
What's to Say?
You are my main butterfly, I see in my mind every day and fly with you every night. You are a wish from my wishing well you are my Tinkerbell. Winkiewinkie Randy Stinky
Thank you for the sweet words.

A doubt or two in wisdom brewed
makes wings that fly on Sy guy.  

Enjoyed this introspective look!

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
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

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.

You mean you fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee?

Interlpoer,
Thank you my friend.
