add
to me slowly
your words
stack them high
one brick
at a time
The
trick to
poetry is in
the base, robust
strong foundation
to support the weight
of crushing truths
and heavy abstracts
but still allow for movement
and flow and beauty
and uglyness
Can I leave a little colour
as I trail my rainbow
dust across your words
just to show I made a visit
and slowly absorbed your words
into my high rise dream
where eagles fly
and sometimes nest in the towers
and into the moat below
where the dragons
whisper their
pyroword poesy
over a yellow brick road
to climb a steep ladder
part the veil of midnight sky
and shake loose a fall
of gold-green scale
like leaves of aspen tumbling
each enscribed with secret sign
to be set as a seal
on each ruddy brick
which build this babbling tower
one word at a time
one thought after another until
it all overflows and comes tumbling down
into your heart where the secrets lie
that only you know that this tower will...
never die

a little interaction, anyone?

whoops! got distracted, line 20 would be better as ---
'dust across your bricks'

this one's going to be great...good how the words "add to me slowly" start off short and then build up, like tension.....-Melissa

-------
