Beyond the Crisp
by Alison McKenzieI have never loved past neutral,
Dipped into that sanguine pool
And laid upon the shore to crisp.
Only this time
I want to experience the next;
And my curiosity
Has relit the fire of my torch;
And I plan on traveling through the night
To reach it.

| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 07/10/10 at 01:22 AM It is...and worth the trip to the flame, even through the night...i've re-read this one over and over and contemplated it in all the facets each reading opens to me, Alison |

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 07/11/10 at 04:27 PM Ah, but likely someone has loved you past neutral...
How creative this thought is, and how fine to understand the possibilities. Journey forth, Alson, face to the sun!

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 07/11/10 at 07:16 PM Great spiritual poem Alison; moving on no matter the difficulty, if having to travel through night, which can be taken both metaphorically and in concrete terms. Aptly expressed, with a catchy romantic sub-tone. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/14/10 at 01:05 AM Loved the presentation of this, the laying out - the exposure, as you decide to move to the "next". |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 01/01/12 at 09:43 AM Wanted to start out the new year with my favorite writers and found this clever piece. I do need to visit more often as I hate missing my favorite writers as their works hits that Top Ten list as I am sure this did. I loved this "seductive" write Al-i-son! |
