Inspiration from the Little Ink Bottle
I cannot hold these words still another moment for this would be a crime against the will of my heartspeak.
They would dangle in a wrestle and collide inside of me gagging on a chain of tears until I’d have to swallow whole sentences , no commas.
I cannot restrain the inspiration falling from you to sift my soul for the finer pieces of me.
I trace the filigree of your delving thoughts and the sads of unmade plans wither up
delighting my feet to dance on tipsy-toes and curtsy to the sound of my own hoorays.
A gentle door swings open to a room and there is a view painted with your rich underbelly gravy, delish.
I know you seek no recompense for your sublime garnishing of what life brings, I only ask to be taken in the carriage of your imagination again and again.
You delight us with your graceful accent serving up poetical full moon dessert, I admit to dipping my spoon and lingering my tongue on the taste of your words.
My muse likens you to a beautiful bluestocking butterfly with wings of the truest reflection, music in the sky.
Words are parceled up in the right kind of sweet edible brown paper to unwrap and eat.
Two gifts offered as one by the gentle push of a shy hand, a poets hand that has been seeking more in the places we forget to look when looking for less or more in life.
You understand the lonely where a wordsmith sometimes dwells offering long legs of phrases to counter balance the shortfall from missing where the starting place began.
You are the loving foot soldier carrying the heart of our words to the brim of our tomorrows.
The fire settles to crackle less and cinder to a little ash, hear the hush of thank you.
When we wished upon a star heaven sent you , our little ink bottle.

For Lisa….x
Feelings and words fall on to the page
Sometimes they bite back
Sometimes they tug on our sleeve
Sometimes they have a cheeky grin
They stay once a page has found them
Words are faithful to us even in the dark

You just undid me darling, here I am in the midst of chaos boxes packing what is my little life away for a new adventure. My lip is sore for the biting but it will mend like the broken bones of a heart. Such words you’ve bequeathed and as per my pinching skin state, I have to reread to see that indeed they are for me. I am completely dazzled.
Thankyou never seems fitting
But it is delivered with satin trimming and my very favourite scent, vanilla.
Now back to the boxes,
I shall be in touch and let you know how I land.
I love you.
Lisa xoxoxox
You are indeed a really lovely woman who does have such a true and loving heart…how can one not hope for the very very best for you in all that you do..
Love you back in big dollops…xxxx

Oh yes indeed KarenSue – she is exactly this kind of gift to us all, her vision and her heart carry us away entirely and for those of us incredibly fortunate enough to be called friend, the journey she takes us on is pure delight – even when it takes us into the “cave” from time to time. But you have written this beautiful tribute in your own inimitable style and with such grace and generosity of your own, that it stands on its own as an incredibly lovely write from a perfectly beautiful heart! xox
Hi….Awwww you are going to get me blushing and blubbering …Stop that now.. ;o)

Karen, I agree with everything. Lisa is such a beautiful person. Also, so much love expressed by you. What a great thing to do. I really liked this
I know you seek no recompense for your sublime garnishing of what life brings, I only ask to be taken in the carriage of your imagination again and again.
That she surely does for us over and over. I love that carriage ride also. Such a great loving write.
I think we all squeeze quite comfortably in that carriage together and get along rather well….she has a marvelous way of bringing people together me thinks..
Many thanks for your very very kind comments here Tony, appreciate it very much.. :O)
