Of Dream, Of Dream See now the harsh amber husk of night, envelop the body’s sore insolence in a hardened wilderness of dream-scarves, Westward luring, these red muslin depths of wet petals cling desperate upon a black bough, leaning into lucidity with hands, sure to lift the perilous scent of orchids piled in a great sheathe of rain, you come, to shepherd my sorrow, gently strip the gypsy silk from my limbs, my temple, my tomb, opening a silence of ruined wings, your touch a path of soft, wild promises bathe my skin with seed, in these quiet silver pools of summer dream, and warm my child in your wings, as in the passing clouds pile themselves into a tumbled weave of violet blooms too fair to cover the limbs that hang heavy with the mists of desert storms late come to the sky or night as I yearn for some small breath that sleep might bring leaving me in slow satin dream where I am wrapped in more than the ache of these unsheathed nerves and cradled soft in seams folded twice across some muslin heart, of dream, I dream. Thank you Mari... for indulging the old man..lol and remind me in the future please.... of what a hard act your writing is to follow... |

Nothing less than what I'd expect--the styles are so similar tho Cap. 'bout time for this too. Reading you two has been like "call and answer" and finally, you meld. And what a baby this is! and I'm off and running today, so ta for now, and how appropriate I'd start my day panting. And nod, after reading this, I'll prolly stick to my lame ass story poems. *ducking Cap* hugs Mari |

About time! My goodness I now have all your books Mari and it was still impossible to find the seams in this. This truly was and must be, 'the first dance.' Incredible work, and I bet you had fun getting into the swing of this one Ron, and you sure did it well! A real challenge it would be to write with either of you! |
