So I Wrote You |

wanted: rivers that craved stones to blur darkness so I placed you there : in stars and wild flowers waves of stormy seas how different the beach looked when you were walking it even dreamed of your death how my images wrap you in purple light and red flowers wading through fog now I too have fallen back on silence, I would give all of mine for one taste of your tears, shapes which no longer fill summer rain I sat alone in darkness waiting for poetry to write you back to me but you learned how to fly &my dusty wings were no match ~ I fell before reaching wind ~~*~~ the wind sings with the calm tranquilize in the night sien beauty on my lips ~~**~~ |

I cannot select any aspect or part of this poem that I liked better than the other. All of it was truly remarkable. I stand in awe of your unique turns of phrases. Linda P.S. That is another fine photo of you! |

excellent opening. the rest works well, but I have to say, opening like that leaves a lot to live up to! loVe this opening. i rarely say this, but I wish I'd written it... quote: egowhores.com - really love yourself. |

Oh, not so.....you have that gift, to fly with words. These do, and almost everything you write does fly.....sometimes it's hard to see that in our own work, but that's what friends are for, eh? To remind us of who we really are, when we forget. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
