Effort of My Between (repost) Eyes followed the bright lights on high from destinations unknown, the crisp air clearing thoughts that constantly shadow my own, dulling an ache that cannot be relieved for now. Have I told you how even the slightest gesture plays on my tomorrows and even though alone, I haven't given up in finding that corner of the world in which I fit. How thankful that I am, that I can still reach for the stars, although the eyes of the past read like fences, making boundaries for me to slip through or climb over. These legs are caught between compromise, weakened by dedication and fatigue of pedaling faster to that secret place where all thoughts search for tranquility, a serenity of afterglow, where peace is the softness of fingertip against cheek, lips to lips, eyes taking in eyes in a world of Between... No night or day, just experiences that poet me with tattoos unseen, breaking out once in awhile in a dance of need. Need that tucks that Genie away, making reality set in, guiding me to truth, pushing me to an end, etching me in a hold that illusion cannot touch. I see her as my reason, the pleasure of my talent, the effort of my between, spinning me into todays to keep from the dark side of tomorrow. I regret nothing, as I sell myself in sisterhood and garner the return knowing sticks and stones could break our bones but together, names can never hurt us. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

a serenity of afterglow, where peace is the softness of fingertip against cheek, lips to lips, eyes taking in eyes in a world of Between... Very beautiful, dear Maureen. Love, Margherita  |

Thank you Margherita. It's always nice to have you read and respond to my words. Snow, thank you for the website visit and your kind words. There are times I don't know why or what I write and am often surprised if I go back and look over the words wondering...did I really write this? I wrote this one, for my sister who at the time was diagnosed with lung cancer, among needing a new liver...so the transplant was out and it was just a matter of living and sharing her time the best we could. She passed away this summer but is always in my mind. Thank you both. Maureen p.s. my web pages are so old, I have to laugh when I read the poetry from when I first started writing. |
