Wrestling the Fabric of the Muse

in #musings4 years ago (edited)

The inviting taste of words on your lips
A tender kiss
The lingering hand against my face, begins to trace
Explore my heart, a whispered start

Musing. Oh, yes. How I love to muse. To reflect. Ponder. Play with my words and make them mean something, sometimes straightforward and sometimes almost woven into the fabric to avoid detection. A diary of thoughts, dreams, life, and dreams yet to be dreamed.

A confession of love
In my dream last night
Somehow
The words slipped out
Beyond my reach
Again


image.png


Chasing you through my thoughts last night
I lost the sun
To the musings of tomorrow
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have that dream
Again tonight

There must be an act of kindness and beauty that belongs to this day alone. Seize the moment. Then pass it on and on and on....

Leaning on the doorway, the entrance for which

Waiting for my heart to separate
Reality from not
Yes, it may. Yes, it may.

Oh, the loveliness, a burst of beauty and covered the color of love.

Say you’ll be mine
Say you’ll be mine
When the sun shines, one of the times

You can see, I’ll never be free
Until that time
Until that time

Say you’ll be mine

Happiness divided by two is multiplied.

Memories don’t fade, they are my own
Whispered words lay
Holding them safe
Waiting for
When the time is right
Again

Let the light in
Reflected from a greater source
Reach for the moon, hang on to the stars
But always remember your roots

Advice from my tree



And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank you for allowing me to muse along... and just so you know, there is always a muse or three left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again. I love this world with all my heart, although some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.


they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Always a flower! Or multiple flowers.

I think the best dreams are those that wake us and leave us wanting just a little bit more.

Always a flower! How can you go wrong with that?

The best dreams are exactly that. I have tried to close my eyes and recapture it, if only for a moment.

Have a great day, Victor!! The good weather is upon us!

I just love what you said. 😍😍 You are good on words, Denise, so you can really do this. And you describe it so vividly, I can imagine it!

Is one of the flowers called daffodils? It is very pretty! 😍 We were taught a song about daffodils back when we were in elementary, and the name of that flower stuck into my mind. When internet days came, I searched what "daffodils" looks like. Hahaha! 😂

Photos are amazing, especially the ones facing each other, as if talking. 😍

Thank you @gingbabida! I am glad you like my words. I often wonder if I should skip them from my posts, but, I do enjoy playing with the words, so I leave them :)

Yes! thise yellow ones are daffodils and they are a spring flower. They arrive in very early spring, sometimes there is snow on the ground. Not here, because we get very little snow if any, but, many places north of here. I will have to see what songs there are for daffodils! Now you have me curious!

I am sorry I didn't get to the contest yesterday, I worked the night before and had errands and then just fell face-first into bed the first chance I got! :( I checked today and the date has expired. To be fair, I wouldn't feel right entering a contest I donated to, however, I hope it got a few more entries and if not!!! You have a grateful winner! :) I wish you luck and thank you for hosting this wonderful contest!

Have a great day!

I researched it now, and it's a poem by William Wordsworth, but was taught to us with melody. Hmmm, I wonder why. 🤔

That's totally fine, Denise. You need not explain. I know that you are busy. Your support and donation is more than enough. I am most grateful for it.

Have a pleasant day ahead. @dswigle

I actually learned many poems by way of melody. I think it is easier for kids. :) Thank you! I will have to look it up now!

Well, there is where you are wrong. I told you I would try and I wanted you to know that I had intended, but, got too busy (I haven't even finished the Market Friday from this week yet!)

And you are important enough for me to at least give you an explanation on why. I am most pleased to be able to do anything to help. Thank you for understanding. And I do wish my feed were better. I miss so much!

Thank you and have a most wonderful day!

Awwww, you are the sweetest, Denise. Your words sent ripples of warmth to my heart! 💕💕💕 Thank you so, so much @dswigle, more than words can say. 😘😘😘

You are always a pleasure!

I believe that if I could completely ignore the craziness life dishes out, I'd be musing most of my waking hours. As it is, I do it a lot, as obviously you do. Words are such fun playthings, aren't they?

Your poem is wonderful and those gorgeous flowers just give it even more feeling as we read along. You are a wordsmith extraordinaire!

It's a real rush for me when I can write my deeper thoughts in such a way that the reader identifies with what I've said and fully understands, but it's also nice to know that someone simply enjoyed the way I've arranged the words.

Thank you so much for such a warm and wonderful comment like this. Oh, but, musing really is fun, isn't it? Words just laying there until somehow they make magic to my ears.

I won't sit and dwell upon it. The words come in five minutes or they will never come

I have no idea why I started pairing the pictures to words, but, to me, they seemed almost incomplete without them. So I began giving them a few here and there. Now, I can almost not stand to put up a flower without one. Although I do. Some people need a break from it.

Yes. It's true. :)

Thank you again for some of the best comments ever. Have a great day!
