'fare ye well' kind friends
“In the kind of whisper that wouldn’t fog glass”
I quote poetic heights, I can never attain
Her acute poetic genius, blanketing my entirety
I too know of selfhood’s unreliable testimony
Only daring to sneak a glimpse
When finding a mirror in my peripheral vision
My smiles come with appointment cards
My happiness often delayed at the gates
Security checks
By my window a rainfall stampede, has me at peace
Looking up at a stainless summer sky, has me uneasy
I trust, belatedly
Yet, within her poetry’s vivid imagery
All possibility suddenly feels palpably, connate
I’m in a love with the eloquence of her veracity
Eyebrows as my fingertips
Each syllable I read, as if a worded silk caress
Unveiling my hidden parts
My stoic tendencies, surrendering willingly
Enticed by her vulnerability’s sincerity
Her art igniting a need in me, to appreciate
Reading is too mundane a word
This intuit chemistry is more accurately
A communion, Poesy as conduit
Two strangers pulsing at a wavelength
So undeniably n subtly attuned
It feels like in a past life I must have been
Crimson ink
To her artistry’s lava brush strokes, what a
Sensation
A serendipitous gift, affording me vitality
Then breathless with unbridled anticipation
I’m immersed within her poetry’s waterfall
Once again

I...don't even know where to begin. A bow to you! Thank you for appreciating us! Being an inspiration to someone is such an incredible gift...one you possess.
“In the kind of whisper that wouldn’t fog glass”- this reminds me of Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin.
"I trust, belatedly"- this hit home for me!! It's like you're reading my heart...caressing the empty pages, and filling it with understanding and...acceptance.
"Yet, within her poetry’s vivid imagery
All possibility suddenly feels palpably, connate"- right back at you!!!!
NOW, my favorite part: "This intuit chemistry is more accurately A communion, Poesy as conduit
Two strangers pulsing at a wavelength
So undeniably n subtly attuned
It feels like in a past life I must have been Crimson ink"-Sharing Red and purple intimate thoughts...feelings, on a deep spiritual...almost surreal (fantasy) level. Like we've already met, and know all our secrets!
Stand up poetry...something I would love to do one day! Once again, you've outdone yourself! Keep shining bright!
Namaste!

'Sharing Red and purple intimate thoughts...feelings,
on a deep spiritual...almost surreal (fantasy) level.
Like we've already met,'
I so relate my friend, 'surreal' indeed
“In the kind of whisper that wouldn’t fog glass”
What an opening line! It sets the tone.
The entire third stanza is replete with poetic images.
"Eyebrows as my fingertips"
another great line.
"her artistry’s lava brush strokes"
I feel bathed in a plethora of wonderful poetic images.
that first lines was hers, so i cheated
lol
glad you enjoyed your bath in poetic ink
hope it was as rewarding as her poetry's waterfall
thank you! my kind friend
what encouraging words you gift
And I’ll huff and puff: which breaks the glass of the literary sayings-since so many women all over the world who can only “whisper” unnoticeable cries, inside-Thank you for the shout out to your proud poetess sisters Sir LB Mek!
a knighthood for an inking of truth
an imbalanced reward my kind friend
but I'll thank your sentiments all the same
wise Poet
'since so many women all over the world
can only “whisper” unnoticeable cries, inside'
how morosely true
such a stain upon our species annals
repeated and perpetuated by every generation
we're so pathetic
(still, we can but dream that Luther's dream
will be realised:
'Let us not wallow in the valley of despair,
I say to you today, my friends.
So even though we face
the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream.
*That
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
all *boys and girls* are created equal
*and will justly be afforded, the same
chances to strive for whatever they want
in life.*)
I read this a few times! Each time evoked something different.
First read (before listening to the video) reminded me of something I was writing on not long ago; what it would be like to be someone's muse and not know it. And likewise to have a cherished muse that unknowingly and yet seamlessly provides inspiration for masterpieces.
Listening to the video and re-reading is humbling. Makes you really think of the self-importance and bigness carried by some when we're but a speck in the cosmos with no more importance than a fly.
..'What if you are just boring'.. is that not a goal? ha
Lastly, the flow of this is sooo smooth.
'as if a worded silk caress'
Precisely!
like a 'peaceful easy feelin.'
Nice work!
Thank you for sharing
thank you for the Time you afforded
my humble effort, dear Poet
how very kind! what a comprehensive
and encouraging feedback
..'What if you are just boring'.. is that not a goal?
indeed, subtly unnoticed be the majority of society
a status most of us seek
A lovely read .. so many interesting and beautiful
Words in this
A serendipitous gift, affording me vitality
Then breathless with unbridled anticipation
I’m immersed within her poetry’s waterfall
That’s just beautiful way with words
Great poem .. loved the read
It’s always nice to read others words .. and to have others like and enjoy our poems
you are so right, dear Poet
it makes it all worthwhile
thank you! how kind
what can I say .. other than ink well spilt .. and magnificently so ..
even wordlessly, your wisdom astounds me
so these twelve words, i'll cherish
as my fated bounty of kindness and warmth
'you lead, n I'll strive
to keep up
dear Poet supreme!'
First I listened to the video, enraptured by her eloquence, and passion. Then I read your poem aloud and found such eloquence and beauty in your words. I was stunned as I so often am by the depth of your heart and soul. How you find the words, and put them together in such an extraordinary way is a gift dear poet. Again, a thousand favs!
'enraptured by her eloquence, and passion'
I so relate my friend, what power she exudes
while versing such vulnerability, a true Poet!
and thank you, I'm glad you liked my dedication
to all my sister Poet's, dear cherished Poet
Words fail me. Brilliant tribute.
