©2000 Christopher Ward a peace of picture sways gracefully – hanged carelessly atop the nail, sliding along the remnants of a broken wall. when these simple words turn into breath with whispered ‘sssk’s’ of the gentle caress… pendulumatically swinging… swinging, it slows, slows, then stops for a silence. and now she wants to frame my mind in arms it rests here among the spectres of ambulation, casted on canted edges, not… quite… straight. the canvas, frayed, is time-worn fadings. yet I still become beauty on her tongue cracked, pitted, the paint a navy smear of potentiality – the promise of a then. she aches to taste the sighting of reality depictions of another time, paths of glories blurred… invisibling more each moment which passes, passes, passes unnoticed. time is bane when words lie still, unpeaced the moon rises with the ghosts of movement, perhaps a sigh entombed within the breeze, so the portrait stirs, and warmth returns to the motioned swaying, swaying, swaying… she wakes to sleep my dreamless night |

My goodness Kissy Face....I love this one. "pendulumatically swinging… swinging, it slows, slows, then stops for a silence. and now she wants to frame my mind in arms it rests here among the spectres of ambulation, casted on canted edges, not… quite… straight. the canvas, frayed, is time-worn fadings. yet I still become beauty on her tongue" there is more, (like the whole poem) but this part I think I like best. damn you write awesome |

Hey you! You trying to get my attention? You KNOW I adore this one... Should I bore you by telling you how wonderful you are? Grinning here, you, my friend, are one of those writers that I learn from, just by reading you. Smooches. Great to see you, sweet face! |
