As I Live: I See>

 Time sits
by the side of each
so passionate: Tranquil.
For each that permits

Prodded emotions
Feelings that change
the cycle" It's flowing
This life long devotion

Pacing our Days.
Divided: each thought.
Bearing weakness ,in memory.
to lead us astray.

a corner lit candle.
Display It's Divorce.
From time's" ruling Palace.
Fading dark: as a Vandal . 

from night straying eyes.
passed: fleeting" in motions.
sinking to depths
leaving us" in wandering rhyme.

Dear Mantis

Another lovely write from your pen , your working hard and its showing , I really loved the thought and the structure of this one though a little tidy up ? lol ... So I did a reformat and I think it gives it more strength but thats my opinion lol and I am not always right lol but I loved this poem and I could see it set out like this ... love and hugz Jayne x x Time sits by the side of each so passionate, Tranquil.

as I

Nice to see you out,and about so early !! I woke up about 5:50 am, seemed to be rested. Came straight to the site to see what was new. Loved what you did, I'm not much on form, but I suppose I will learn. I have a hard enough time, getting the words out, as fast as my mind chucks, them at me . then ,there's spelling,punctuation, blah, blah, blah... to much to think about, Just try to get the words to paper. OH and my typing sucks too.So glad your out here to help me Jayne..xx thanks again for commenting. Mantiscepter

You combine the beautiful with the dark

You have no need to impress us with your glare, all you young poets, hark at me the old fogey being a typical old fogey!!! But you know what I mean, your poetry speakes for itself and needs no ogres or impressive pictures to send it off into the blue like a butterfly to land in the mind of us who read it. You combine the beautiful with the dark and that balance is so good, yes you kep playing your music I shall continue to enjoy listening to it John. Love Ann of Norway. P.S. I liked the arrangement Jayne did too!

As I See I Live

Lost in the confines, of my own devise I throw words at masses some may hide, in what kind of form, they come to view, I never will know, either will you. deep from within, these stars gaze out, so where will they end.? this I shout. I know not, where they come from, from minds of the past? or what they will say,in times now cast. thank you for your very kind words, Mantiscepter
