Incense climbs from lantern glows
genies appear for three wish throws;
bottles lay afloat off pirated shores
scrolls saw light after centuries in stores,

Tanned hides to contain your purse
manned hives could contain worse;
silver streaks along faults to pick
slivers of sweets on plates to lick.

Morals allure civilians into empty caverns
brown bottles attract peers into crowded taverns,
lighthouse auras, beckon sailors from seven seas
pagentry of knighthood, means getting down on ones knees.

There is the allure of foreign places
opposites attract, among foreign races
Greed and power are fatal attractions
when luck appears, remember the rations.

Wonderfully said....

Lauren~

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

(sigh) Wow, this is soooooo wonderfully stated, sweet friend, every place on Earth has its own unique characteristic and I only wish everyone could respect each place with more respect and not let vanity take curse of their actions! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hi Nancy

I'm trying super-hard to steer away from the commonplace themes, that's my challenge Nancy
