Poetic Dances


From my very beginnings I have been,
     like no other -  I have lived a dream;
the joy in life sadly, I have not seen,
          yet my soul is like a cool forest stream. 

My writing are fragments -  I have taken,  
    from a broken heart that weeps a poem; 
for each sad sorrow,  each I awaken,
          my life is writing and poetry my home.

As a grown woman I am a cool dawn,
     but there is thunder in my soul,  a storm;
and from my pen the words are drawn,
         each line taking its own sweet form.

My nights are dreams and my days trances,
     and I spin and weave poetic dances.

I agree w/Rick, beautiful poem, Broken Wings. A great ending as well. Touche and kudos. A Souper 7 for sure. I love it, I love it like that. It has bounce and flow. Structured elegantly like a beautiful staircase of words. Keep the love and knowledge flowing. Much love and more love to you. BTW, call me RW (Romantic Warrior.)

My nights are dreams and my days trances, and I spin and weave poetic dances' beautifully done Broken wings. Have you read, Taliesin sings of his knowledge, this reminds me of that a little, just differently said. /|\
