carve
by Steven Kenworthyshe is resident 94,
she,you
you'll have to sit and rest well with my imperfections.
i have so many.
i have a set of things about myself
i have dreams of you.
i have so many dreams of you
every now and then in life you take the long road, the tougher path.
dream to make believe
says the painting on my wall.
you make me believe.
you make me see.
& then there are the dreams.
patience has the time coming and ringing
bellsandchimes and bells, harmonies voices
we all have the same fantasy don't we
best friend with your swarmy eyes
you make me smile, on fire and pinched,
brave
i want to be with you

| Posted by Julie Adams on 07/11/08 at 04:20 AM I love "you’ll have to sit and rest well with my imperfections."—superb line!...I have to say this poem flows as if the sweet n savory "she" in the poem is resting right on your palette, or perhaps at the tip of your pen...and the "I" in this piece (making no assumptions), that brave soul lingers in these dream cloud stanzas pondering the possibility of love, how organic for a poet...I think Dante would agree, we tend to share the same fantasy, perhaps just different interpretations of it...well done!!...hope I didn't run on a tangent too much...a pleasure as always :) peace, jewels |

| Posted by Charlie Morgan on 07/14/08 at 09:16 PM ...s.k., this has a fantastic layout, from line 1 all the way...the stylistics speak of the "Everyman/Woman" making sense of the non-sensible...sorta like you say 'dream to make believe' toooo much!, and what julie said...and the crowning glory is the style, i love it... |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/15/08 at 12:55 AM A briefer delving than your usual, but it still hits the mark. "patience has the time coming and ringing
bellsandchimes and bells, harmonies voices
we all have the same fantasy don’t we" - my fav stanza.
