Amongst the aroma of café bars and florists


Somewhere between sandstone walls
silence swept lightly over cobbled street

the ocean’s breath sprinkled flavour
people roamed with lost tongues
awkward hands  
and face’s blank with dreaming

smothered by the sea
amongst the aroma of café bars and florists
I felt love around coffee cups  
you filled them with constellations
and I saw you fading

our eyes smelled flowers in windows
they wrapped them into admiration
petal by petal
fingering them
marking a reality to somewhere
I have and have not yet traveled

What a gem, this poem...

I -knew- I was up in the middle of the night for something....now I know....because Dark Angel was about to post, and I couldn't wait until morning to read it!

Such a voice you have....I want to hear more of it...more, more, more....

YES... your archives are full of treasures...
rewrite..repost...let them breathe...it will be our pleasure to inhale them

No matter what the differences
No matter what the cost
When words become our weapons ...
All that's beautiful is lost.

She does encompass that special something
that makes everyone want to dip their quill
into her inkwell, and imagine that they can write...just as she does.

Well done Maree...

and Raph?

Thanks for being pushy!

Maree,  I might be a little envious of this,
but I won't be...  This is superb poetry,
poetic expression and use of metaphors...
Awesome....I could smell the coffee too..
I like those quaint little places...though
I have never been to one...
