Pansies for thoughts

Thursday, November 30, 2006

Pack away the foolish garments of youth. Neatly fold your dreams with tissue paper Between each fragile and faded layer, Sprinkled with rosemary, and rue, and truth. Stop chasing the hopes of your giddy youth. The time is past to meet Her, to move Her, To give violets, and take Her offer. You are old, […]

Heart of Stone

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Here lies the road into the deep, dark wood, Fern dusted banks, and tree roots, and red, red earth. Ahead lie shadows, and chiming sprite’s mirth Drawing me deep into the dark wild wood. Blithely I go along a path I should Never have dared dread. Long gone from cold hearth And smokeless chimney, clothes […]

Unreachable beauty behind high walls This coarse mortal fool has no art to breach. A bleak lonely gulf keeps them out of reach: My heart, my hope, rises […]

Rondeau for a girl

Sunday, November 12, 2006

She kissed me then lightly went her way never knowing it might be more than play never seeing that she changed the way my wary heart beat. A new path opened for tired old feet, old flags unfurled in fresh display. Blithely, lightly went those days. In foolish youthful happy haze my waking heart beat! […]
