In Your Poetic Mind

{I'll drown in my own book of shakespeare}

        seeking your face;

engraved impression/s
vibrating the breath
of brass reed--

Would it be the same
as falling in love-
     hearts imperative,
echoing here
while I was elsewhere

         You, laughter among
zodiacs,--warrior angel
stirring  dark ocean floors
    blackened veils
between worlds

Harps of shadow     ever at play;
      that moment just before
the river bends  -- to sweet
arm/s of sleep--peace under  shaded
    palm

The wind will whisper
    midwinter
another instance of embrace
scattering the haunt --

Upon the ground I knelt
remembering    the dance      ''endless'' ('2)
the blue calm,     crowded
with flowers, yellow, red, pink---
---white petals---

fog will drape   the earth
glow of stars      will weep

another year passes

dusk by journal and pen

I sing to life
To it's tragic beauty
To pain and strife
Let all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I lived through it all

=================================

I saw your name, smiled, drew in a deep breath..then I read your words and exhaled...
did you just know how much I needed to read your winged words today....
thank you my butterfly twin,
love you, miss you...

Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past?
With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.

Oh yes!  Your words weep like a willow in the wind...
or maybe it's me and my sentimental memories that you depict!

Thank you for never missing a beat~

Much love to you Lady Lauren~

Wonderful full bodied and rich metaphors as usual Lauren.......
Then some logic too...yes..."Would it be the same
as falling in love-
hearts imperative,
echoing here
while I was elsewhere"

Very well done!

such a beautiful writing of ink spilled words. I came looking for you today because I hadn't seen you around...I guess you had been gone. I was too for a few days so I wasn't sure if it was me or you missing

Nice reading U
