Gone to Numb There must be words I do not know Of velvet and of pure white snow Those play the wind like butterflies Like skies that pinch my heart in sighs How can I tell you how I feel? That private alter where I kneel And lay upon the smallest breeze Those thoughts that give my soul a squeeze Where can I go besides my mind? To clear the mist so I can find The Eden of a garden fair A place where you are truly there My dragon’s gone worn of wing To mollify this shadowed thing And I am weary of the fetch That stretched me to a pauper wretch I wish the words they do not come And now my tongue has gone to numb. |

I am sure I am not the only one who daily thanks you for writing "me" pieces...because they touch all of us somewhere deep inside... quote: |

There must be words I do not know Of velvet and of pure white snow Those play the wind like butterflies Like skies that pinch my heart in sighs How can I tell you how I feel? That private alter where I kneel And lay upon the smallest breeze Those thoughts that give my soul a squeeze ================================= My dragon's gone worn of wing To mollify this shadowed thing And I am weary of the fetch That stretched me to a pauper wretch ================================ Stinkylove....you call this "numb"????? Trust me my poet prince....this is so far the other side of "numb". When the words come to you from that gifted muse of yours...me thinks you are in a higher place of grace and thats why you dont recall them when you come back down Your "tongue may be numb"....but your pen is in rare form and I feel every cadenced kissed word.  |

JM, You encourage me like a little bird on a limb, to jump and fly but when I do I fall upon my face. But I promise i will continue to try and one day when I do fly I will find the magic place of words and bring you back a sack full of the most wonderful I can find. And then we can have raspberry tea and be happy. Winkiewinkie Randy Stinky Thank you sweet Lyra you are a doll. |

Sy I felt your sad in this, but still poetry is you, even when you don't see pretty...the words you write do. |

"Where can I go besides my mind? To clear the mist so I can find The Eden of a garden fair A place where you are truly there" YAY!!! Oh Seymour, I believe that that is just it about poetry, our tongues are supposed to sound numb, yet you always express yourself so well and every word that may sound like nonsense to someone is so inspirational to someone else! (big huggsssssss) This is beautiful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I felt the sorrow as well in these lines, probably because I can identify with them the most Sy... "My dragon’s gone worn of wing To mollify this shadowed thing And I am weary of the fetch That stretched me to a pauper wretch" But to get myself over the sad feeling all I had to do was go back and read these again, and my spirit was once again uplifted... "There must be words I do not know Of velvet and of pure white snow Those play the wind like butterflies Like skies that pinch my heart in sighs" I think no matter how savored we become there are always words in there somewhere to speak to our heart. ((hugs dear friend)) There is nothing means more to me than |
