to depth of the wicked that irrigates soul I become responsive... illusive self awareness communicates quietude of the right side of the mind intruding cement it must sort out the stalemate of consciousness what seams to be’s are they herein clearly the realm published bittersweet... by a twilight of almost todays beaming their grubby little faces wraparound tender jasmine waves a hurtful look on it’s face often comes most zealous just to remind us we're alive spontaneous pilgrims gathering the whole of things shaking our littered state right out of body and mind into songs that still... even though tears... side with one another... sanctified by a karate chop to the whole of soul... like a twisted half circle authentic drums & brass horns noise that hurts... deliberately ramming the robe of life spilling over some aloof wintry dead silence shivering like bobbing dead fish in some half frozen lake while ice catches each wave and there is where the other side of human life intermingles with dwarfed white cotton balmy cushions of pale leaves littering stories of great stones & white churches burning love and there... in that tragic heartbreaking honey throated mumble we are freed from doubt and pain ...and if we’re lucky... we watch that classic movie orchestrated by our own stained glass window... smiling knowing, without knowing the kiss of life that runs down our cheeks pressing hard against our glaring anger easing the waves of tension & challenges making circles in our soul applauding our choice... this time |

"we watch that classic movie orchestrated by our own stained glass windows... smiling" ~ a sweet, knowing moment that you have penned s poetically. "applauding our choice... this time"  Lee, don't be such a stranger! We have missed you and your poetry! Giving you a humongous hug, LL |

authentic drums & brass horns noise that hurts... deliberately ramming the robe of life spilling over some aloof wintry dead silence Dear LeeJ, again your words spiral around me and within me with force and beauty. You always gift us with great emotions. Love, Margherita |

Lee, I sobbed my way through all of this beauty and wisdom. I can't spend much time in Pip, for various horribly pressing reasons, but I ALWAYS read any of your poems that I find, but don't often comment as they are so deep and complex and I feel they need several readings and a long time to understand fully and put together a worthy response. This one I just had to reply with this albeit unworthy and incomplete response. I know you undertand why I had to. - Owl |

You...are so--YOU. you manage to capture moments in a streaming montage of imagery, and I confess at times, I don't "get" it all, but I do understand that what you do is not a linear intellectual exercize. You FEEL--and you bring us all along for the ride. And I love it.  Thanks lovie!  (drop me a line some time, eh? It's been too long!  ) |

Hi LeeJ......I wonder sometimes how you find the words to put together in so many different and beautiful ways. I'm glad you do.  |
