a shallow breath

I am fret-less,
in a fingers slide
palming the sublime

a lost cord
the first guide
on my journey
I was yanked 
into destiny's
embrace

alien phantastic
orphaned to never
and bound
on the loom
of fate

I kiss sleep from
your mouth
and bathe
in dreams
of you 
 

I am incandescent
on a loop of twine

Dear Jayne

my favorite lines: I kiss sleep from your mouth and bathe in dreams of you my only complaint is with the title. It seems to me a bit redundant, but I have no suggestions for an alternate title. I really liked this piece and would like to see it have a complimentary title. Love, Cat

It is a better title, but if you're not satisfied with it, I'm sure you will come up with something better. It is in your nature and within your range of possibilities. Love, Cat

Oh WOW Jayne

Ann of Norway You loop us into the wheels of fate with such panache and such imagery, we are helpless and find ourselves in harmony with you, we love to ride your poems through the labyrinths of the imagination, and feel as we do while passing, the thoughts that never let us become unaware of where we are. Just wonderful. I hear your voice singing in my mind and feel the incandescent brightness flashing its white refrain. Jayne, we love to read your mind and be mesmerised into dreams with it. Love from Ann to dear you.
