On a summer's deep night, brightened by starry darkness memories stirred the larks that once sang in me Bat-blind thoughts flying aimlessly in search of an unhurried arm of Ghost Breeze This unseen rainbow in silent moon's blush goading a mind with deliberate courage such a strength of the past lodged in braided thought I could not deny it, nor turn away. I saw through a gauze of confusion, the wandering cry of Ghost Breezes, eerily creaking from past stories deceptively calm, enticing I would not allow my old cares to be cooled by this false aire of comfort. Go haunt another!I implored the spectres I live of the Now and shall not be mocked or scorned by your windy guilt nor gaze into your tar-pitched eyes It circled for a moment more before I breathed out ancient dust in its face! cutting the roots around my heart and watching the Ghost Breeze quietly perish on a midnight vine |

Jeff darling heart and writer of the wind, have you any idea how spectacular this poem is? No probably not since you entirely lack all conceit, then let me tell you darling heart it is awesome, and no I am not just saying that. Naturally the rhythm is perfect and the flow is utterly utterly spot on. Your writing is never less than perfect sometimes however even I am amazed at the beauty you mange to weave through your words. This is gorgeous, and IWIHWT. This unseen rainbow in silent moon's blush goading a mind with deliberate courage such a strength of the past lodged in braided thought I could not deny it, nor turn away. I saw through a gauze of confusion, the wandering cry of Ghost Breezes, eerily creaking from past stories These lines are so outstanding I’m breathless with awe, how can you weave the breeze so completely, I swear this is superb writing, utterly utterly superb, definitely one of your best darling boy, truly brilliant. Perfect writing darling heart absolutely perfect ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |
