I didn’t mean to write a poem it was too cold and I was crying ice though the blanket wrapped me Only alone and lost I whispered under the skin of some fabric tossed on to my under wire holding me up no bounce just slide and slip it off For you and you and even though off key regret this simple moonlit cone of me But I did I wrote and a poem was and I touched it with wondering how could skin feel so soft where did all this love come from and all this jade from just a clock I wrote a poem about oh there are too many things too many to give a name but mostly they are called love and they are my babies but I am not their mother |

"I didn’t mean to write a poem" (me either) Y'think we're addicted? but damn it feels good... "where did all this love come from" Oh yeah, lady. We are addicted. (and hey? I've been addicted to worse! ) "I wrote a poem about oh there are too many things" Yet somehow not enough??? Sure sign of addiction. grinning at you... love you martie! |

Just keep raising that bar, sissie... and I'll keep trying to jump it. This, sweetheart, is more than beautiful. It thumps heartstrings, and even the angels cry. |

This poem makes me happy, and so sad.... You write sheer beauty, as ever, but I wish....wish I could take this away from you, make things turn brighter, so that your next poem would be full of light and life and the spun glass images that seem to flow from you in happy times. |

"I wrote a poem about oh there are too many things too many to give a name but mostly they are called love and they are my babies but I am not their mother" You have defined the Zen of Poetry. You are not the poet nor the poem but the flight of the poetic thought. *hug* |
