No Glory She eyes the weight of the carrots While the donkey heaves in sweat Sings the song like a parrot While a mouth waters for let. Weary grows the muscles jerk While fantasy makes dreams Love has turned to heavy work While buttercups grow reams. The path is full of cobblestones But phantoms ride on greens And yet the pull of weary bones Knows nothing of these dreams. We live within a duo world In a travelers parallel Antimatter that unfurled And pollutes our very well. But eyes will see what eyes will see And symbol carrots will ever be. |

Sy, I find a stick works better but to each his own Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Seymour mon cher ami, magnifique, n’est ce pas? Tu ecrie cela lui tient a coeur. Padon mon cheri, j’ai palais Anglaise. This is very very close to my heart, I can hear this inside, loud and clear. Sometimes, oftentimes you toll the bell that rings my changes, and while the plodding thoughts of on and on jostle for position in my head I have days like this. Normally I’m off chasing sunlight and shadow, but today I’m plodding in weary track of returning back. As always darling man You write and the world stands still to listen, wonderful writing, fabulous metaphor and stunning imagery again YOU darling boy shine bright. I love it utterly utterly utterly As always Mushy    Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Sings the song like a parrot While a mouth waters for let. Weary grows the muscles jerk While fantasy makes dreams Love has turned to heavy work While buttercups grow reams. The path is full of cobblestones But phantoms ride on greens And yet the pull of weary bones Knows nothing of these dreams. We live within a duo world In a travelers parallel Antimatter that unfurled And pollutes our very well. ==================================== You've been people watching again  Sy-babers, there are so many clever, cool, lines of wit and word play here that all I can do is smile at your muse's wile. The wisdom and irony of this is done subtle and classic Sy. "While a mouth waters for let. Love has turned to heavy work While buttercups grow reams. The path is full of cobblestones But phantoms ride on greens And yet the pull of weary bones Knows nothing of these dreams. could those lines and metaphors be any cooler??? I stopped chasing the dangling carrot... traded it in for raspberries and butterflies. (and winkies)  |

Seymour darling boy your words always spark in my soul you know When weary steps seem to drag my feet And my plans lie in hope’s defeat When the light seems much too dim and far I look to you as my guiding star HIS hand is seen in your words of wise These spark my soul to new arise Inspiration pools in rainbow’s hue Takes me back to the place of do Footsteps forward lead me back again To stand in soul’s refreshing rain Wisdom bathes my soul I am reborn Joy and hope awaken my morn Marsha Thank you Seymour darling boy your magic spark worked yet again   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Seymour Hi there do you know your writing is one of the reasons I come here still? Well, it is, confidentially I thought the novelty would wear off, but your writing ensures that I will keep returning to read and reply. Wonderful imagery again you really are an awesome writer, and I really can see this one. Its so descriptive, I wish I could write half as well, maybe you can send me some tips. x x x If mum can send you kisses I certainly can, can’t I? You don’t really mind do you? I didn’t think you’d object but its always best to ask. Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Sometimes it's a carat's karat... sometimes it's the hold of gold or spindly shine of diamond's "mine" but rarely in the dream so whole... HUGS! |

Sy, And the chase goes on. Here's where I say "carrots", and you're supposed to say, " What's up Doc?". Great read. Doc |
