Where The Poets Dwell |

I picture a charming castle sitting atop a mountain high Where dreamers gather to ponder philosophy in the sky. Closer to the heavens and so distant from all that’s hell I thought this must be the place where the poets dwell. I picture reflective souls united by a common spiritual link Cemented firmly together by mere droplets of colored ink. Sharing experience and wisdom that only their pen can tell. I thought this must be the place where the poets dwell. I picture spirits wandering in perfect rhythm and rhyme, Stopping to share a verse or two for a moment’s time, Allowing all to satisfy thirst at their wisdom’s well I thought this must be the place where the poets dwell. I picture me as one of them existing in their universe, Speaking the language of love that is known as verse. Then with incantation, a realization, but not a spell, I find I am now here in the place where the poets dwell. |

Smiling here, as I can picture them here as well as the river Styx. Enjoyed the read. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (05-10-2003 12:16 PM).] |

I can picture you at your secretary in long silky robe penning this by candlelight... where a poet dwells... |

Patricia... If the gates of sincerity were secured by a lock... And goodwill was the key... Then your soft hearted words, and genial compassion would gain you... Perpetual access... So Mademoiselle I’m glad we both dwell In a place so swell Where many can spell And many do tell When my poems smell And I say, “Oh well” And then... Farewell... |
