Stealing Shakespeare

Before she awakens

Tempestuous in hunger

Mighty as a Scottish vision of Allah

 

Desirably I watch

 

A voyeur to these lips entangled in sheets and trance

Her coals meeting with wild dark eyes

Evidence of stilled breath

 

Before she awakens this world

I sweetly know

Always I will be

Waiting here

 

A smile for her candle of tomorrow

And yes

Tomorrow

Where we spend and spill our palettes

In brief ploy of intent

Hello again from across the very long way,

I think it's fabulous that one can find hope, for without it, we cease to live and merely exist in these vessels of flesh in my never to be humble opinion...

... for without hope, the heart fails.

Beautiful and inspired writing as always, my friend.

Sending you thoughts of everything amazing....

Alisa :-)

These years..minutes to a mind that can walk in sun and friendship. Oh how quickly the candle turns brief then out....stealing a thought of Shakespeare "signifyinying". Thanks Poet~

Act V, Scene V, Macbeth?

[Perdition]

The Canfle is "Brief"..the carrier a fool and the story more important than the scene itself ...Madness to Minutes and the trust within it~

Candle is brief

I love Shakespearean writing, if only I can understand it...lol. A beautiful write, full of poetic flow and rhyme. Thanks for sharing this poem of alliteration and colors at its best and have a wonderful day.

Thanks Jen..it's the and of Macbeth when the queen has died and she should have died henceforth as there would have been time for such a word..A time for such a thing..tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..it creeps in such a petty pace and all our foolish days....lol :) "Just have to find that inner Elizabethan ....where night lingers on the breast like the howl of silence in Nebraska, Ginsberg and fine vintage jugs of wine that runs the boxcars...boxcars..boxcars ..Thanks Jen..a million lit romantic ocean glides where Carl has found us on the last winter's face warm and slumbering awkward onto the gaits of Alf :)

I haven't studied Shakespeare in such a long time, a lot of his works I can't understand, but I guess if I am going to make poetry my life I should study him. I love Romeo and Juliet but I think that play is overdone just a tad. Have a great day/evening

Can you write something that isn't wholly enigmatic... for, like... once? Your poetry always manages to disorient my linguistic sensibilities (aka "leave me speechless")... Every. Damn. Time. And in perfect honesty, a part of me lives for the continual out-pour of your prose. You, sir, have a kingly gift & one which I am entirely grateful to witness. Much admiration.

[Perdition]

Great! One more resounding worthy survivor..A blood stemmed iris. The heart to raise my pen and with every droplet a madness in agony approaches; a shadow glowed nightly praise; call to tribute, and in deed intended all for a poet's poet.
A worthy death I shall wear in spilling all that is left of here. Crawling over these jagged reefs. A soul turned here in the last clouds of love and war. Your wages of page ..A thorn delightful .A dagger for the side of gods made into full moon.

Struck me again, Warlock. A million praises, a million fold.

[Perdition]

Aww..Can you blame me though? Poet to poet this be the forested corona where the branches of catalyst merged of impetus and gathered in crown of sunlight converged..not exactly fair bold Luna, A bested tranquility of dark sea lantern would be hard pressed to resolve, let alone in the gravity infinite be penetrated.

[Perdition]

oops..*penetrable..although? Sorry about that...sorta :)

[luna rose]

Hahaha! How cheeky of you :) The magic wasn't lost on me, regardless!

[Perdition]

Well, then Perdition all smiles as mission accomplished Houston; Magic Moon - same paged.Oh!...and "Cheeky is as Cheeky does" Forest Gump redesigned and Thank you Luna...ALWAYs a wonderful treat whenever you stop by~

[Priscilla Sayers]

What a colorful palette it is. Flavored with destiny, peppered with Faith, may the eyes you have beholden in your dreams become the reality of tomorrow.

[Perdition]

May peppers in my eyes do what again?...jk. Thank ya..Thank ya very much...A-ha-hum~

[Priscilla Sayers]

My pleasure 😊
