Rest Awhile

From whence and hence I rest awhile.
In fields of green, of secret file
And stare at different hues of blues
To fantasize some phantom views

I cannot move the jumbles pile
Except with shovel of a wile
And this I do quite frequently
Without the aid of drink for me

I close my eyes a moment’s bliss
Within that time I steal a kiss
Discard the dirge of agony
And exercise my vanity.

I touch the edge of fantasy
With lovely wiles of ecstasy
I am a moment’s butterfly
Just winging through a golden sky.

And this to me is what I need
A tourniquet for human bleed

Seymour darling boy, you know exactly what I’m going to say about this it’s spectacular. TRULY PERFECTION I love this darling boy, it’s utterly utterly fabulous.

My soundless Oh of admiration, my breathy sigh would tell anyone who saw me that I’ve just been to the soul filling station and been re Seymourised. This is another of your utter utter best darling boy. *This is excellent and as always I love it

Your writing always makes the keeper list, excellent writing as always


Love and warm stuff

And exercise my vanity.

And this to me is what I need

=====================================


Close your eyes ... rest your mind ...
in restful reprieve, leave your worries behind.
Come sit by me ... we'll sip some tea ...
sweet berried bree will set us free.

A moment in time ... a moment of kind,
promised in rhyme ... ours to find.
Rest now in this fantasy's quest ...
a tresure chest filled with a heart's every request.

There is no dream the mind cant conceive ...
all one needs is to just believe.





*ww*

Of all the things in me I could never be,
of the true I kept hidden from view,
the best parts of my heart ...
were the ones touched by you.

Loved those lines~
When all else fails we better know how to wing it!     Enjoyed this a whole lot.

If you can paint it, and write it
then it must live in your heart with beautiful.

a tourniquet for human bleed
and words to wrap 'round the deed
of struggle in life, rest assured
your daily fillip heard your word
