Symbols In the evenings early hours Where the smell of jasmine flowers Cross the looms of delicate rune Under light of a yellow moon And the ground in sullen lingers Like the touch of lovers fingers Playing sense like piano reams Where lay the quasi-drifting dreams. And voices speak like gaming sound Like baying dogs where game is found. Those baying howls that wail and fall Each single sound that makes its call The breeze holds the aching prey Making its final stand at bay A moment’s charm away from harm With trembling heart in high alarm Fierce symbols touch the real of birth Jasmine and fear that stalk the earth |

You've transported me to your land so please now let me take your hand as you lead me from the ice and chill where perhaps I might bend your will to offer me a cup of brew and yes, invite our Randy, too... Smiling with you, Sy... |

Cross the looms of delicate rune Under light of a yellow moon And the ground in sullen lingers Like the touch of lovers fingers Playing sense like piano reams Where lay the quasi-drifting dreams. ====================================== your quasi-dreams play me mothy heartstings your imagery is as impressive as your rhymes Stinkylove...most of all--your cadenced consistancy and constance to write this well each day. The Symbol for Poetry is Sy. AND winkies *L* ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's over long before her fall from grace, she's never been this far from safe. |

And the ground in sullen lingers Like the touch of lovers fingers Playing sense like piano reams Where lay the quasi-drifting dreams. I liked what JM said...Sy being the symbol for poetry. Very cool. |

Take my hand and hold it tight Walk me through the moon tonight Let me see through eyes of Sy So never love will pass me by! I must be blind to all you see, As for me, love will never be. I must learn to feel things as you do, So Sy teach me more, won’t you? Okay I might have pushed the last line but you get the question I bet? ![]() ~ The soul lies buried in ink that does not flow ~ ![]() [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-18-2003 12:31 PM).] |

Sy--The jasmine is blooming here with ease, a false spring at 80 degrees...such a fregrance is insane, in the middle of winter's hurricane. Loved your poem! ![]() |

"Playing sense like piano reams Where lay the quasi-drifting dreams". I like the way that each preceding line brings on what follows it. Thanks. It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency. |
