{So this page is yours for the pleasure of touching} soon dawn will slide from the over hangs of these ice walls Even tonight I paint images of a green mirror -- as if the only strokes-- were of my being alone would gaze my eyes It is one version to show his blues eyes -- the piano player the moon hits full on shoulders that vanish among waves in a veiled mist trace one finger of silver along the edge ofspace winds blow, long after dark for stars already wished upon {sleepless} open palms water rises to meet me I have no thoughts left: only faint echoes of catching butterflies -- endless hands through amber skies your face sketched in blacks and grays wake me in your dreams -- pretend you love me for the sake of fire&water kiss the images of tears, on nights velvet eyelids I flow in emeralds woven tones my heart needs rest all this rain -- remains oceans music: {so this page belongs to you for the pleasure of touch} this is life: empty ~*~ In your light I learn how to love In your beauty how to make poems You dance inside my chest where no one sees you and that sight becomes art [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (01-12-2004 04:41 PM).] |

"your face sketched in blacks and grays wake me in your dreams -- pretend you love me for the sake of fire&water kiss the images of tears, on nights velvet eyelids I flow in emeralds woven tones my heart needs rest all this rain -- remains oceans music:" I know the tune... This reminds me of a B/W photo I have on my desk, taken on a rainy day at the gulf. Very cool write as always Lauren. |

trace one finger of silver along the edge ofspace winds blow, long after dark for stars already wished upon {sleepless} open palms water rises to meet me I have no thoughts left: may you always have thoughts my friend.. and may you always share them with us. I'm always touched when I read your words, and always left a bit in awe, as well as feeling the mystery... |

lauren- as always, outstanding, this piece is so rich in emotion, it touches to the very core...and though it is aching and sad, it is also powerful and shows strength...i am in awe as i am often upon reading you! "only faint echoes of catching butterflies -- endless hands through amber skies" this is beyond any doubt some of the most beautiful imagery i've ever had the pleasure to read. brilliant! love ya girlie, amy "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

If I keep reading your poetry I'm going to have to buy a dictionary of superlatives, that's all there is to it! The way you capture images and the dimensions behind them is incredible (he said, after vainly searching for a better word)..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"Even tonight I paint images of a green mirror -- as if the only strokes-- were of my being alone would gaze my eyes" ~ It was difficult for me to pick one stanza as my favorite, but it is not difficult for me to know this... I would like to know Lauren's thought process as she writes poems, such as this one. Clearly enjoyed... |

It is one version to show his blues eyes -- the piano player the moon hits full on shoulders that vanish among waves in a veiled mist trace one finger of silver along the edge ofspace winds blow, long after dark for stars already wished upon {sleepless} open palms water rises to meet me I have no thoughts left: only faint echoes of catching butterflies -- endless hands through amber skies your face sketched in blacks and grays wake me in your dreams -- pretend you love me for the sake of fire&water kiss the images of tears, on nights velvet eyelids I flow in emeralds woven tones my heart needs rest all this rain -- remains oceans music: {so this page belongs to you for the pleasure of touch} this is life: empty ====================== I would find a way to read you blind...touch the words etched in gold leaf braille... for in the end...I am the one who is so gratefully touched. Nature poets can't walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany. |
