From whence can such awesomeness, such grandeur
possess the need of touching the hands of life’s dregs?
Can silk and lace intertwine with canvas and burlap? Or...
will the moments be mere brushes, as cloth grazes gold
and gems fall into a silken scarve....

I have felt this most terrifying feel.   One where beauty
stands before me and looks in the eyes of worry, where
legions have traversed the cliffs in ice....as rocks have
fallen perilously into the chasm of insecurity and pain.

Oh...but to have, possess a face of the gods, that I might dine with
the silken lace.....to touch the finger in linger as eyes
gaze hopelessly in love.......

Perhaps....perhaps I do.....through my heart and the parchment...Yes...
perhaps....Or..
Perhaps, looking back into the eyes of beauty wed.....perhaps I do now...

Yes, perhaps....

Barry

The world is full of such dichotomy...one giving the other more impact, lace and leather more beautiful when seen together.  I really enjoyed this poem and the thought that went into it.

Thanx M.  though beauty certainly has a place
that each of us may wish to be....our words
can be ever as beautiful as any life that
has graced the eyes of the earth's minions.

You too have that touch....

Mayhap, it be so...
as perhaps lingers in the soul
as kismet fingers now to then..
mayhap, it's so, as forever, whens...

Dear Barry, oh yes...and perhaps I shall pop this keeper into my library before Nightshade does?
Yes...perhaps I will.

Hmmmm... better to have beheld beauty and lost sight than to have always remained blind of it's grace.  An excellent write... thanks for sharing.  Peace.

I think so too. I can't believe I have gone a few weeks without one of your poems. They are so amazing.
