Shades of Metaphor I soar in nightly raw Among my shadows metaphor From glad to glad I wade In and out its play of shade Searching my inner dim The workings of my sinners prim That hovers o’er my bare And flicks me with those whips ensnare. Contrariety of men That cannot find an open glen That wonder in the mist Searching out their private gist. That feels and hears its crime Those ghosts that ride the sands of time And hosts me thru this dwell To toast me o’er its fires hell While I in hopeless nightly lie Lay drawn and quartered on the why. |

  (big hugggssssss) Oh Seymour, this is excellent, I know just what you mean, and the gist is all right there to those who are yearning for it, they just have to think simpler! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, 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..." |

Sy: How well you pen the workings of the man inside. Such insight to be gained, from what the mind knows and the heart has not yet learned. Really liked this one. ThisDiamond |

I soar in nightly raw Among my shadows metaphor ========================== Searching my inner dim The workings of my sinners prim That hovers o'er my bare And flicks me with those whips ensnare. ====================== That wonder in the mist Searching out their private gist. That feels and hears its crime Those ghosts that ride the sands of time And hosts me thru this dwell To toast me o'er its fires hell While I in hopeless nightly lie Lay drawn and quartered on the why. ================================== Me thinks Randy is influencing your pen upon the page again, He's rattling his cage and snorting Hell Fire sin. He'd like us to believe he has you roped and tied, A dragon in misconceive, he hoped to render your pen stupefied. This dragon 'tis no match for your metaphors, It's your rhymes that allow him to roar and soar. 'Tis of your verse that his gist even exists, Your pen in twist ... couplets of inspirations enlist. The answers Randy wonders to the questions of why ... lie in between the lines and rhymes of the poetry of Sy. ~~ *winkiewinkie*   |

Noah, Thank you my friend for the read and reply. This Diamond, Thank you so much for the like. Enchantress, Good morning love, have a wonderful day. JM, Without the Randy there would be no candy. Without the Yin there would be no Yang. And the answer to the eternal why is the eternal change to the eye. WWRS |

Seymour Hi there, your writing is excellent do you know that? You have the ability to write the thought so beautifully. This is simply perfect in its flow and style, and this poem describes the feeling so well. Do you have any idea how special and brilliant your writing is? I see in your writing how a writer of heart can be a writer of magic I watch your quill unfold such wonder and I’m awed. I know I’ll never be the caliber of writer you are you can write so well, and while time unfolds your pen speaks to me I can’t wait till September, I am so looking forward to meeting you, As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers at every pore with instant fires Andrew Marvell 1621-1678 [This message has been edited by Krissy (09-06-2002 06:43 PM).] |

Seymour darling heart Truly exquisite writing there is within your soul so much beauty and so much life that I shouldn’t be surprised at how it spills out to grace the pages with it’s wisdom. But somehow I always am, because it exceeds my expectations always. Truly wonderful writing I love it utterly utterly If the answer to the question is a question indeed Will the answer satisfy the soul and fill its need With the touch of knowledge be the touch you seek Or is it too dark inside for the soul to take a peek If the answer raises questions will the answers heard? Satisfy the questions contained in a silent word? Will thoughts that float within the darkness of night Find the path to awakening in knowledge first light If the answer is a question is the question always right? Or will the question only find the answer in clear sight? Will the darkness keep the mystery away from you? Or will you resolve the enigma by looking all through The truth is the question solved by wisdom’s touch And in this touch the question reveals so much As always your poem is simply perfect darling heart and I love it utterly As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

drawn and quartered on the why an amazing line, me thinks! contrarity of men (of course, you mean humankind, but as a woman, this put a bit of a turn up on the corners of my mouth, hehe) Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
