out of heaven
hell forbidden
trash up the shimmer
the clasp of lights that hinder
cast upon the fiery mirage
the ghosts of angels die
side slip like a lock
your sacred soul the pearl
notch
handled smooth
and fleeting like a folded
wing
at my hip
you sigh
begin to speak......

poems for "m"
sometimes poets are broken
from the wild
given consciences and run
to wars
the given from those that love
the shattered and the sheltered
shimmering souls
like a summer storm

Reading this...
I was reminded of a Christmas past, just like Scrooge! A day of infamy, a dark season at best.
I love the image conjured by the line: " trash up the shimmer". Like adding too much tinsel to the tree and making it overdone and gaudy. As ever, I have no idea if/or what you meant was the same as what it meant to me. I did get a feeling overwhelming love for someone and that is easy to see. Seeing reality one day at a time, ~ Gee

when I started...long before I came to Neopoet...
i thought I was cursed
and may be
but its a blessing too
to see things the way I do
handle people
contact events
and occurences...
*See Rayes Theorem
It is about Love
love that is wonderful
and symbolic
and must be removed
and set away
sometimes thats more
important then the day
to day we survive on
Illusions cant feed you
but they are beautiful
You got it spot on!!
Thank You!

Loved you have an unhindered way of Expression..
and a belief in what you are and of your art...
I wish I had what you had in belief of your work
and self in Persona here...I like the way you
word things and your poems
Elf said I was like you in ways and that
to me was a compliment and I do try to
write with your flair..It has helped
Thank You!

you steel my heart and make me smile friend....
that elfy dear should say so
I 'm so fond to hear....
he calls me shitty-------- normally
but what I know about the world’s mind
I say poetry is from the heart
an emotional way
and thought comes from mind alone
it's not that poets
don't have a mind of their own
all I ensure is never hit below the belt,
it hurts one and all
small, big, hollow or tall
and now friend in your court lies
the poetic ball...

we are like Wolves..flitting from shadow to light
bearing our scars...flaunting the flash...
Ive no doubt there have been admirers
but quality mining is a lot of removal and
effort to the perfect other....
I see the facets...The fire...
and I write it out
Perhaps Im a Gambler and Man about town
like they used to ridicule me..but with one
eye closed!!! When I see others with the
skills and abilities I put heavy bets with them
I need my Howls I hear out there
I need the glint from those eyes
the snarls
territory and stance
Experience cannot be bought or
hoarded but shared
Thank You!
