His upper mouth
faintly speaks
it quietly blows
aged bubbles of despair
blue hugeness frequenting the moon
love shaping his bride
starving his unpainted smile
the extracted spirits
who once claimed his veins
momentarily
between those rivers
where voices spark
spark wanting strokes
where the terrific pleasure of being alive lives and wonderfully loves
The terrific pleasures of being alive/and wonderfully loved. Mari, you capture both life and love so beautifully in your butterfly net of words.
Susan: this now is perfect – my superior terror sleeps, it fears my tread.
happiness has found me : )
Thank you – as always humbled by your praise!
just gorgeous.
Love this!
o’ you lovely woman you.
i bet your walk lights skies . .
while my words scatter thoughts – gracefully i pulp in joy
joy to be read by such amazing and talented souls!
You my dear just need to continue to ‘pulp in joy’ ~ we love reading your magical expressions here ~
Much Love to you Mari – you are a light in my life ~ truly !!! RL xo
Not sure my walk is’ lighting too many skies’ these days though — hips and spine are taking a toll – I’m trying hard not to let the pain steal my soul though …. and when you can, do read my latest post ~ ‘Pain Dance’, and let me know how I did with my attempt to turn pain into art
You my dear are the cheerfulest of all. Beyond the pain that molds your arch. Remarkable you.
Brittle and small never challenge hope – never forget that.
Walk boulevards soon my friends, plenty of love alway!!
Aww, thank you sweet Mari – Goddess of words and wisdom – and born to inspire. I am touched.
I will remember your words – and may hope prevail. Sending love back to you my friend ~ xo
The vision of an artist, the words of a poet. So very very beautiful.
I thank you.
Not only fabulous…and…the photo, brush leaned to make it look like both hands in use, palette arm (so love that) and yet took the photo somehow
