Flying those wings to wing over flights of fancy glinting proud heads with brain muscles powering images of potency imprinting life of life Faint ideas fainting in the mind of dreams you fainted behind flying onto ideas that would change the world echoing dreams of flight to echo thoughts of thoughts hovering over decisions indecision in the challenge to challenge as supported by many you dream of flying alone In a moment’s boundary you threw yourself across the dreams of sand in dreams of thoughts as long boats drift across the early tide brown stretched against a log fiery rim casting sweet colours on a blue crystal water almost transparent in the wake of boats you have never seen You watched and enjoyed the silhouette into the sun with the darkness of failing shadows glistening on heat burning watching crescent heated red hot light grappling to melt inner ore in false images of dancing sharades of prefabricated thought in safety approved steps to falsehood In bodies we saw in a molten fire the broken paths that would not allow our joining as we failed to learn and thus entrapped in atrophy we burnt in a fire of knowledge of realisaton In a mass of freedom echoing boundary hemmed with vision in ignorance we had no boundaries only the chance forward and now we have learnt we have only boundaries to stop us Those last two ideas may appear in other words Dave |

you might want to look at your layout, in terms of presentation to the page. I find this impossible to read and hold my attention. When by all means, it might be good, but my attention span was not as long as each line. I only say this to be helpful in relation to future material, you do continue to share a poet who cares |

"In a moment’s boundary you threw yourself across the dreams of sand in dreams of thoughts as long boats drift across the early tide brown stretched against a log fiery rim casting sweet colours on a blue crystal water almost transparent in the wake of boats you have never seen" Now this...is some really nice poetic imagery Dave, and I am keeping this post. But there are so many fine thoughts in this, it offers me much to ponder. Thanks for sharing it! hmmm, and for several reasons, your post made me start singing my favorite old Cat Stevens tune: "Longer boats are coming to win us They're coming to win us, they're coming to win us Longer boats are coming to win us Hold on to the shore, they'll be taking the key from the door. I don't want no god on my lawn Just a flower I can help along 'Cause the soul of no body knows how a flower grows... Oh how a flower grows." |
