Prim, Prime Time, Oh Rose Who but man woulds’t count, ‘tis true the curl and color and winsome hue of a prim and prime rose in glory, yet, ‘tis woman who but would tell true stories ~*~ and smiling I in all this while beseech thee, love, with but a smile for here is staid of heart, ‘tis true while one smiles she thinks of you, in glories seized thus by most true held charms t’would one devoted hold in her arms any but that she thought not best? Yet, and here I fear, I’ve failed first test and sorry be I, for in this failure that rings would have been a voice in joysome sing for in la petit morte, divided lives fell both squandering time in lonesome hell, sans glory… Donne would say, and did he, indeed in numbers primed and divided, decreed that woman would take over their lot and man, yes man, he would be besot in stories… …for the sounds within the heart of girl lifts her through life in all its whirl till woman stands before man and deed and he, who wrote, yes, he paid in heed and glory. For truest is this, if truth would be but read a woman indeed, would take man to stead fast in her life if but he be solemn, true, and hold to him close, and never rue her glory. ~*~ Yet another dedication to a poet who serves my Muse… (and for *S* who so adores…and is adored) http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/primrose.htm |

(smiles) Donne certainly must have blossomed in the garden of your heart in an inspiration rainbow, sweet friend, the gift of voices to one another is truly a blessing and brings more colors in this world and in literature and art! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Ahhh Karilea, this reads soft as velvet. Love this style from you. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Sunshine, Once I was accused of being "Archaic". I defended myself ( of course ) but this, to me, truly shows that just because certain words have aged, does not mean they have become obsolete. Wonderful! Doc |
