queen of sleep, please feed my eyes more than just this expiring of day more than sable vested owl light give me the fore day morn instead that rosy fingered morn, the incense breathing morn water me drunken from the day spring of morrow pulled in reign to present clock stop hour.... where daughter of dawn dances with open eyelids wide that have never known the dark nor the close eye of day or the empress of silence that is queen of sleep, that have never paled the child of evening leading her mother night... queen of sleep, please feed my eyes not of the gloaming tide or the evening vesper but give me the right to light of heedlesshap, let fickle chance wear the bedizenment of bright with mantle of joseph colors purposefully haphazard the guise glove me with dawn day fingers let me wear a chesterfield of chintz and yellow ©Dark [This message has been edited by Dark Stranger (06-12-2002 12:00 PM).] |

Woah... I loved this write, Dark my dear. I had to read it twice ... and then slowly... just to catch the literal way you have with tangling tongues. Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |

This is an enchantment! Reads like a spell being cast, and I'm completely helpless. This insomniac truly appreciated this one. |

DS..this is pure poetry in motion...superb employ of imagery, vocab and phrasing to create this ethereal beauty. What also makes this so attractive is the subtle rhyme and flow of it...most of all its originality...you have created some impressively fresh images and thoughts in this.I read a lot of poetry and youve used quite a few words and images new or rarely seen in the world of "over use" and cliche that is a part of poetry. (particularly my poetry) Wonderful writing poet sir...this new hat looks good on you |

Ds, every time I read something wonderful I know your name is attached to it, but this is just .....I don't have words for it....... it just leaves me *breathless* I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~~(Garth) |
