Michellesque

A dedication by Joe:

 In one minute of expression!
In the hour of an age;
I saw the fruit of inspiration
A largesse from heaven’s mage.

So I reached out to its fire
My heart big as blue sky
Just a soul tugged by awareness;
such elucidation I’d descried.

These words could melt in my essence!
The very being of my breath….
I sensed delight could dance between us
true life rejoice o’er mortal death.

The Maverick

Dedication by Michelle:

Within silent chambers of darkened grottos
wandered displaced, my weary muse.
Until he jumped forth from a page of notion
this steadfast man of no recues.

Blue flames did stoke declining embers,
he gave the spark to matchstick thought.
Within a fiery blaze of blessed insight
his verse and rhyme my spirit caught.
                                                                                    .
Idle minds can’t spin on moving axis
though cognitive fire will sing and dance
Guided by captivating poetic precinct  
I affably admire his erudite stance.

Nice relationship,expressed in such original artistry - both pieces possess a great calm of metaphoric talent, and a real sense of mutual admiration -" jumped forth from a page of notion.. - spark to matchstick thought..." very nice - J.A.B. %
