secrets in tomes

[Suz-zen]

run swift night
sparklers reflect
messengers of light
frolicking chasing
leading new life
remembering well
utterances of love
you meant it
no faltering
among stacks of books
nothing alters
other people's lessons
protecting hearths
we two poetry authors
of our own
secrets in tomes
fear never exists
between or in us
happily ever after in privacy
outside influence corrupts
courage a must
end the verse
sadness seeps
Eros will peek
next chapter open
incomplete
be still
unwritten
still naked in truth
nowhere is middle
unwritten be still
until the next verse
next chapter
who returns
who breathes
when leaves turn

Oh wow - lovely lines Suz-zen I almost feel like waiting for the next line to be written...

[Suz-zen]

Sumyanna Thank you so very much! That you like this means a lot to me. I actually have you to thank for this one. I have not written in short, succinct lines. This is by no means as good as your style or your ease with beauty or clear verse and imagery, but you did inspire me to try some thing new! Thank you for being muse, reading, commenting and praise!

[Sumyanna]

Wow - I truly am honored but I think you wrote them quite well. I felt the pain through the words - the desire to forget, and that denotes great poetry!

[Suz-zen]

thank you! It was an exercise in a stream of consciousness... I will re-work a bit and very well may add to it... thank you for the encouragement! in the same goal of short and sweet, i attempted the poetry # 6 as a haiku. Different!! Thanks for those prompts!

[Sumyanna]

You're welcome. I will keep them coming as long as everyone finds benefit in them :-)

[Suz-zen]

Hi, Suz-zen, I love the first few lines and many other of the pithy, witty short shots down the road of this self-reflective longing poem!

[Suz-zen]

Thanks so much MH! I like the first part of my poem better than the middle...i like the ending....was it grant or tanner that was to write a poem with your comments? You are so good!
Attention: grant hayes and Tanner i rather like:
~ pithy, witty short shots down the road~
Can you work that in?

Beautiful work Suz-zen. My favorite (among many parts) is 'fear never exists between us or in us'. Simply wonderful!

[Suz-zen]

Hi RhymeLovingWriter Good to see you! Have missed you... There are a few rhymes and slant rhymes here, almost hidden!! and I thought of you.
thank you for reading and for the kind post. that line was written as a sort of affirmation of a possibility... hopeful.... thank you for mentioning that one! Truly appreciate.
