Early morning meanderings

[jay]

Sitting alone late, a bit tipsy, I started writing random bits of verse about four people...



tail twitches
like a cat waiting for the moment
claws are there
but she'd rather sheath at home
keenly sighting her prey
while feigning disinterest
I wish she'd yawn and stretch in my lap

a temple with votive candles
purple and red
enigmatic mystery
are the doors open or shut?
Let candlelights illumine
generosity, thoughts and softness
more than any treasure

a curious child
bouncy happy
until she catches a mirror
and she shatters
willing herself
she catches rainbows in their prisms
I am blessed in her depth

Faithfulness and passion
are blessings
a social animal
but a lone retriever
wrap me up
I feel your heat
always alongside.

Thanks! Most of it ends up deleted, either too personal or just too atrocious...

So I am curious as to how you paint me in a voice picture. Giggles.

I wish I could buy a bottle of your enthusiasm and warmth elixir... thanks!

Those are good! I like them. Keep on writing, Brian.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

With sufficient lubrication^H^H^H^H^H^H inspiration, perhaps... (grin)

Lovely...and of course I'm dying to know who's who.

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

Thanks, but I'm not telling, of course (wink). patgreene got them all in 20 seconds, without prompting... but she's heard me paint voice-pictures of these people before, with some of the same imagery.

Then she's three or four ahead of me. ;)

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

That's interesting... ;-)

[geekchick]

Nah, it's just my usual obliviousness. =)

[brian1789.livejournal.com]

But such endearing obliviousness ;-)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Wow.
