And So

The wind has closed my ears to you
the cold has sealed my lips,

the sun has marred my vision
and so, I must digress.

Blood flows down my jaw-line
my mouth frozenly stoic,

tears run free from out my eyes
and so, I disagree.

For spring has entered winter's chamber
and a song springs from my voice,

my ears listen, and my eyes absorb
and so, finally I'm content.

Now deafness does evade me
and my throat has opened up,

I see now, that you've tortured me
and so, now you're a pedestrian.

My sweet Jayne-C....

...you "rock"! And I mean that in a fellowship so sweet, that I am comfortable enough, to live with your remark.....soo complacently ! I can only hope and pray, that You really get the "gist" of the piece.....I merely wished to explain my colundrum of lyrical qualities. Jayne, you are truly a "diamond in my eye" as far as positive feedback ! In fact.....you're absolutely way too generous with your comments. I'd clearly respond.....however, I'm being super careful not to offend the likes of you. Drop me a line, if you feel so inclined.....I'd certainly appreciate chatting !

Doc:

Furtive and transient, the poem kept walking, I guess to disappear down the street. Excellent write. Sincerely, Hugo

I guess, Hugo....

...sometimes, alls we really need is a stroll down the street. You are capable of discerning what I suggested in this verse, and also, exactly what none other would pick up on. Yours, is a keen insight...and I greatly appreciate your candor. Thankx again, for the encouragement, my friend. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.
