Reasons

I laugh, I cry, I watch the sky
My conscious can but heave a sigh.
It’s why I put the real aside
And favor more the muse abides.

I write of beauty, flowers preen
And mystic gardens of my green
Of phantoms, loping in my rhyme
A witch’s broom, to pass the time

I often use butterfly wings
Full of the hews of coming spring.
And float in morning’s golden glow
Sailing the flow of the rainbow.

And when I still a nectars field
I drink my fill of honeys yield.
And with the mornings snow white dove
I wrap myself in the lace of love.

I ask you, are these worth the guile
The cost of just the smallest wile

Well it always works for me
Your wile tis the raspberry in me tea  



"And when I still a nectars field

Could those be any cooler?
"still a nectars field" ... yer so kewl

love the imagery and intend in this Sy-babers ...
your guile makes me winkiewinkie's smile *L*

     

When man is lead to arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations
When mans concern narrows, poetry reminds him the diversity of existence

In reason's hold, I see the gold
seems we two would share the view
of winsome rhyme, yet one more time
it's in your high, I read The Sy...

SY~

I actually found this very peaceful....very tender....


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,

Seymour~

If I looked all day ... (and half the night)
I'd not find a more beautiful thought than this -

'I wrap myself in the lace of love.'

Yeppers !
Not just 'worth' it ... priceless~

You always manage to pick the best.

That's what this poem was for.

compelled!
to speak thru the mouth of words
and that, that my friend,
is reason enough to inspire your glorious writing.


I laugh, I cry, I watch the sky
My conscious can but heave a sigh.
It’s why I put the real aside
And favor more the muse abides.


One small niche in my craw, tho,
wouldn't the 2nd line be 'consciousness'
and the the fourth line be 'favor more what the muse abides?'

delightful writing, Sey!
hats off amigo to ya!
