The inner Storm I see the raging water swells Smell the thunders sulfur smell Hear the wind that cries in whine The strikes of rain, the deck of brine It breaks and washes o’er my head Turns me white with fear and dread And rips in awe my saving goal It taunts and seeks my very soul. It blows me senseless here and there Slipping tipping a ship can’t bear Raging madly till I’m raw Tears the rigging to the core. It steers me to abysses ledge And falters there upon the edge Rings a prayer in shouts and swears That offers more then some would dare. A cast of decisions fate The truth that lies within in wait |

Good morning, Mr. T.! I certainly hope you had some dramamine before you set sail on those turbulent high seas! I kept picturing you on the slippery deck of that proverbial ship of life and wanting to throw you a life jacket, a life raft, a life line, a life preserver, even some tasty Lifesavers---anything to keep you from sinking into the briny depths. Seriously speaking, I found this to be yet another brilliantly penned metaphorical sonnet! ~ sending you lots of light in all the colors of the rainbow EA |

yaknow, I think this one, of all you've written, is the one I can best relate to, in a deeply emotional way, for my present circumstances...I enjoyed this very much Seymour. |

JM, My Tinkerbell is not in DisneyWorld But in a place where minds unfurl. A place that has no weight or size Where every moment is surprise. She lives within your very heart There is no map or treasure chart. WWRS  |

Seymour darling heart you offer me lines that are written within my soul right now. Each word emblazoned in letters of aching sadness. You really are a superb poet, and write such truth with such clarity and grace. In truth your words speak my heart They write the sadness from the start The ending of a perfect time When dreamers wish is thought fine Then the darkness swells within Now is the time it will begin The fading of the living light The shading of my soul to night All this you write of how I feel My soul is dizzy my senses reel Sunlight on my soul is almost gone No truth but this in sadness song Written here your words spell me The pain of soul that summons me  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
