how un-easy it stands, this sublime.
through the pocket of an eye
watch it trace the great heart as it sleeps.
as happy as a cocktail stick
hanging with the tulips like an owl.
all corners of it's mouth talk upside down.
if only it was sweet enough to rain
to clean the second layer of it's skin.
the world itself has yet to grow alone
it's lock of hair, it's one-dimension prose,
it's seven toes of wonderment,
it's blanket for the cold hands of a rose.
when comes the last hurrah for sake of kin?
it is August here but still it reigns July.
the seventh earl of constant shade and myth
still spreads his wings of thyme and hyacinth.
the marching band of orpheus
of what great stars are these we cannot see?
the single scar
above the rolling eyes of one such man
who has bottled me as burgundy
and sent me to the heavens in a can.
if only it was sweet enough to rain
the three little pigs of age and chivalry;

A gratifying but enigmatic word combination requiring a key to unlock the puzzle. Nicely done
thank you soren.
a most kind comment.
I can't find the combination, but will keep trying
thank you for reading.
and stopping by to comment.
I feel somehow this poem hints of an evolution yet incomplete, just the feeling it gives me, I may be way off. But I love the thought provoking essence of it. A mind bender of the first magnitude.
I would say you have got it spot on Bella.
and many thanks. as always.
Tremendous. Powerful work.
thank you my friend.
We all see what we want to see but all is never as it seems, no one can ever truly see the soul of another all the triumphs and all the disappointments and all the pain. A magnificent piece of poetry. 🌹
thank you Teddy.
so much to see, so little seems to be dealing with it.
big hugs my friend.
So many good lines to pick from, like "the seventh earl of constant shade and myth still spreads his wings of thyme and hyacinth". Very well done.
thank you for your kind words Dan.
very much appreciated.
