Current mood:utterly feckin exhausted
Category: Writing and Poetry




  Something's happening, with revelation, with tears, without understanding:


        paper


        I see you now
                as if for the very first time
            floating before my gaze
white—changeable as the clouds
                    full of reflection
    clear—deep as a canyon pond

        perhaps you're a spring
    gushed from furthest mystery
                a taste—artesian

        I see you now
                    suddenly as if never before
    welling up on my eyes
            sparkling clarity
                bubbling hope

Very, very enjoyable. I not only see the emotion, but FEEL it too. Excellent.

I'm somehow drawn to an ambiguous style. I love the thought of different people from different walks of life taking something from my efforts that are unique to themselves, specific to their own experience.


Glad you enjoyed, Michele.

A deep aquatic birth of emotion- wonderfully lyrical.

I'll admit that I have had some decent work come out when I was beyond tired. In fact, the rough draft for "Labor" and the next two poems I'll be posting after that as I have time were also written written when "paper" was written.


Glad you enjoyed this, Michele.
:)
