....I Dreamed....

And there I hung....

Like a diamond set in blue black velvet
Lying among fellow light dancers
Nestled somewhere between twilight and the man in the moon
Holding steadfast to memories of tomorrow

There I waited....

Knowing future days to be had
Living proof that miracles exist
Lingering love light possessed my soul
Kissing my eyes with a radiance indescribable

As I died....

Exquisite and torturous,

but please can't you change "the man in the moon"? Apart from the cliche I see a rabbit jumping over a log. cheers, Jess

Now now Elfy baby...

you know I would change 'the man in the moon' but he has been such an inspiration to me that i feel he deserves his plug lol the cliche is intentional and has a whole other meaning for me. Ultimately we write for ourselves do we not? So with love and appreciation of your opinion I will leave it as written. Thanks for the read! Much Love! <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

Emarie,

this goes beyond poetry it's like music. As I read the words I can hear music in my head. Girl you've been kicking it with your poetry, keep going it's wonderful!! thanks, Eddie

Thank you

again you are so encouraging! i feel like i could stroll into a publishers office and demand publication after i get such feedback lol but realistically my work is far too broad to ever have much success...and so now comes the meaning behind this piece... as poets we are to spend a lifetime immortalizing the impossible,idealizing the mundane, and realizing that true idealogical immortality will only come with death... <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

Emarie,

Did you think I didn't realize what you were writing here, this is why I said it sang to me. I feel it was about my poetry which is mundane, yours is far from mundane. Wake up and realize that you are a lyrics writter! You don't understand what I've been saying to you. These poems you've been writing are music. you need to find a musician so the music can be added to your lyrics. I'm sorry I wasn't clear before, but since I know you love good music, you would understand what I was saying. again sorry for the confusion. Eddie

and here I thought I couldnt write lyrics!

thanks so much Eddie!!! most people outside of poets take one look at my stuff and immediately call it 'too deep' so i never really considered talking to many musicians. perhaps you are right...thanks again!!! <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

This one gives me the shivers, Emarie

strongest line for me: "Holding steadfast to memories of tomorrow" Love it! Regards, ID P.S. What kind of musicians have you talked to? I know a fair lot who write "deep" lyrics themselves...`Course, they are not in the top 50s (nowhere near, most of them)...

dissention of wavelength

before my puter died and now with slow ancient lap top i viewed Hubble shots of dying stars and was overjoyed at Joy Divisions Digital cover from Manchester its a physical log of a pulsar star and while shopping at the mall with our few paltry dollars for My loves daughter stopped in a store looking absently at polished gems small and neat the two great old clerk women talking like magpies heckle and jeckle to my Love "these are like encapsulated nebulae" I thought aloud and now I see this inner mind expansion reference via your great poem kick started on this last day before christmas as i awoke before six in utter darkness to come to neopoet and feed my mind the high test text the black and white cuniform of vision great poem and yes it truely does provoke my crazy mind thank you
