Illusions dangling diligent as leaves against the pale of time A thickened skin perhaps, yet thinly trembled sweeps the rhyme Uncovered to the light of day, the beads of tears once boiled away And left in satin tinge of certain singe, a negligee around the will at bay But to enter here, aware of the calamity and chills of winds and peaks The stillness at the center pulses clearly to be seen in life it seeks Stepped outside the covering and gathers of the nets made safe By all the filed chippings, stripping of the past, gesticulation’s waif Unseen by some in lifetimes, well known to those alert The bending with the wheel and will, as blusters bring the reasons pert To squeeze the clouds between the knees as harbingers of free The naked light of truth within the fragile frame of wait and see Copyright Kkh 9/17/03 |

To squeeze the clouds between the knees as harbingers of free The naked light of truth within the fragile frame of wait and see love these lines...an ending fitting the rest of the poem..and captivating in the implied metaphor... well done indeed! |

I must admit i could not understand it, but I confess to be one of the lesser ones. I do however congratualte you for attempting something difficult. Although i cannot quite get the meaning i did enjoy the complexity of the sound structure you are working with yours etc arthur |

I am not sure....but I sense we are watching the storm and relating to it's many facets and strengths.... perhaps I am wrong, perhaps I am not.....only you know... None the less, the poem is truly a beautiful write. Very well done. |
