harmonic reason (an ode of sorts for Anni and her pic)

she's chasing rainbows
at a quarter to midnight
does she not understand?

how can it be seen,
when one is standing
right-between-lines

frightful, fearful, glorious
wink of a gypsy eye
talisman marks the spot

her love draws her there
then hides behind clouded
ambition-strikes-air raid

no time now
rainbow's bleeding gray again

Heh fantastic, I was wondering if anyone would pick the rainbow,

Heh fantastic, I was wondering if anyone would pick the rainbow, it is a little subtle. I just now had a listen to your spoken poem (whoooohhh!), was digesting & thought I might finally steal some time to look more methodically at what you brilliant writers have been up to, & found this beauty! You are a clever one, this is so well put together & has some subtleties I recognise (or am I slipping between lines & chasing phantoms?) that reach way beyond the simple words from time to time, I love that... would love that no matter who you wrote this for. Well honey this is a gorgeous rainbow over my morning, off to make coffee (the tease of the universe... never quite tastes as good as it smells). Keep creating, I love your talent. You do know you are the most potent, lust ladden woman seductress to grace a computer screen (chuckle), live it up girl. Thanks, this is a joyous gift, I feel like skipping! How daggy is that? Oooh, just read it again, it has a bit of a pack..... or packs a bit of a ... something below the belt, in a really insightful way, I am impressed... again.

im always curious when i write something like this...i wonder how true to the nature of that person i can be and i honestly worry that maybe i will strike a little too far 'below the belt'...haha well im glad you enjoyed it and i really just wanna say, as an amature photographer...i really enjoy your pics! there is something there in you, in all of them that glows and is truly inspiring! :D <3 Emarie __________________________________________________________________________________ "i read you and see…that between the pen, paper and you…there is little room for me…" ~ heart breaker~ Go Live & Get Rewarded!!!

Emarie,

you just blew me away with this piece! Anni, keep chasing rainbows, and if there is no pot of gold waiting for you at this rainbow's end, there will be another rainbow soon! When I was a child, I used to love that part from the bible where god made a rainbow for Noah and his family after the flood. Rainbows are powerful symbols. Much love to you both, ~Nina

Emarie Rainbows I see the colours merge but did you not see me there struggling to be seen but feel comfortable in the shadows looking down sometimes bright sometimes so grey I dissapear longing to find the end of the rainbow and find my treasure always Electric Blue
