In deepest abyss my mainspring cries open passing the envelope of season into bridal weeps and tears These seldom invitations to speak my mind climb from o’er the walls of silence rattling my cage and telling me secrets that I keep They sprawl back with affection steeping lore of my wile, while I am slowly rocking wild notions, more wild than rumor itself Am I not the same as you, this flesh and yet I pillar myself behind long streets that lane way into the darkness Hoping that it is okay to not want the attention of the master For there are others waiting and I am content Spent still yet, I am merely desiring Just this detailed rewinding notion A wishing sort of water ripple flicker that I see you in goldest rise and you smile.. that warm, fresh bread morning smile And I run, slow but hurry run to an embrace so absorbing that I know you from first force of life to slow sigh of sudden remembrance All those many days that broke upon my wrongs in fighting mourn and willful cast were worth waking for this moment My eyes would drape closed then And I would feel as silk and purple on your arm, your waistcoat the sun I catch my breath as a million sunsets roll into one. |

All those many days that broke upon my wrongs in fighting mourn and willful cast were worth waking for this moment Regina~ your writing springs from a well that is so full and inviting. I so enjoy reading the delicate trickle and constant consistancy of your words. |

Regina It seems that sometimes I could have written your thought, for they feel so familiar, yet I could never color them with the silk and lace that perfumes your poetry. This is so lovely! |

In deepest abyss my mainspring cries open passing the envelope of season into bridal weeps and tears These seldom invitations to speak my mind ================================ while I am slowly rocking wild notions, more wild than rumor itself ================================= Hoping that it is okay to not want the attention of the master For there are others waiting and I am content Spent still yet, I am merely desiring ===================================== And I run, slow but hurry run to an embrace so absorbing that I know you from first force of life to slow sigh of sudden remembrance All those many days that broke upon my wrongs in fighting mourn and willful cast were worth waking for this moment ============================== Such a deep introspective piece... perhaps such a personal write that some parts wont be seen in its intended light..but one of those writes where each reader can take something personal away with them, each will see some of themselves in the words. Love the hints of inner rhyme and the phrasing you chose to express this lovely reflective piece. As always...so well done Poetess Reg mothyme |
