just a thought yearned by Shell
(for J)
Night slips distance out of sky,
leaves tip breeze the nod and fly.
Time for moon to blossom dream;
let petals fall invisibly,
velvet curve tomorrow’s cheek;
full-moon aware they travel light.
Tomorrow, find stars in warm sand,
impossibly – they kiss his hand.
I have never seen that type of poetry before. I think the broken grammar works really well. It is like capturing a picture frozen in time. I like it!

welcome Cendrine … i break grammar perhaps, almost certainly, though it flows … i hope … *gulp … i’m glad you like!! though i have a feeling you’d like some of my more overtly soulrites more *grin .. thank you, dear soul and i hope you return …

“Time for moon to blossom dream” – I absolutely love this!

nooo i haven’t gone missing but thank you, Paul, for missing me anyway! it’s just been a hectic w/end in between two hectic workweeks … *sigh
by way of torture i’ve recorded an older poem .. i like the concept even now but not sure i ever got it quite right, despite numerous edits ..
Hello. You have gone missing and I miss you. I miss your poetry which is simply fantastic, your podcasts which were favourites and you because you are simply wonderfully fantastical, Shell.
this piece marries consciousness and imagination… and what a heck of a honeymoon…
fun to say aloud, too…

*heh … deliciously put, Chico and thanks! it was a joy to write – you know, not tormented by anything, no looming disasters or broken stuff … just, as you say, in de-light .. did you get chance to listen to my reading it?

LOLOL .. why thank you dear Ario … *hic

Mind if I steal this, change the ‘his’ to ‘her’ and read it to my girlfriend…?
I’ll pay royalties or something.
————————–
what an honour, Ario! now make that change and read this to your love!

That is very svelte and beautiful. Your podcast is one of my featured sites for the week. and delicate and velvety and lots of other ‘v’ words too, a very lovely poem.
