The Beanstalk

I climbed a beanstalks twisted lie
High, high into the sky
Supported by each leaf received
That is what, I believed

I watered me a base of grime
Spending, a life of time
Searching o’er horizons block
To open up a lock

Within the clouds and wash of brake
Through prisms colored wake
I see the pinks and gold and blue
I see the soul of you

And as I suck this nectar dry
I drift and know why
I’m melting in what seems a dream
And running out of steam

By loosing my facilities
Those wings of my abilities

" I climbed a beanstalks twisted lie"

I love this opening line. It speaks to me of all the times we've followed a fairytale only to find that our own ending is not the happily ever after we sought. There is a hint of passing regret in your poem that touched me and I found both thought and pleasure in your words. A lovely poem.

Good morning, Mr. T. ~

Both you and Isabel have been in my prayers. I know that this is a difficult time for both of you.

Kalandria took the ink "write" out of my pen! My sentiments exactly!

Loveya, T-Man!

You go, Sy

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

You've seen much, Sy...
