Love In Abstract, Distractingly Detracted
I just, just wrote this about a minute and a half ago, very quickly, because I was inspired .. oh.. partially it’s just that sort of night, and partially it is because of this lovely piece right here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/camerongray/art/1202650-1-abstract-tansitions-panel-4
A flow of temperence, into mercy, through veils and vale, down to the heart, and falling into love
Dark tides pool and sway, sliding and slipping deliciously over well rounded white marbled rock
Hard, unyielding, yet warm and natural, ready to cradle both life and death within it’s confines
Speak to the birds and tell them of natural follies, of waves crashing, of feathers losing and lost
Demand of the trees their knowledge, their hoary branched reasoning of seasons gone far past
It is all the same, all in vain, all striving, always after wind, as in past so in future for all time, love
Better to sit and watch for sparrows then clamber after adders in the dark, is it not? Say it is so!
Bring me gentle tidings, twine them in your hair, making silken nets to catch true lover’s eyes
All the same, the seasons past and one foot follows another, and again I am gone. Goodbye!

The words just melt me!

Thank you! If you haven’t taken a look at the picture (per my description of this poem) please do. It is, as the first comment says of it, poetry in it’s own right. I was responding to it.

Well, I went there and looked at all his work, he is amazing, but I’m not sure which one in particular you were writing about because you don’t have a link to it here and I can’t tell the title of the work in your description because it’s cut off.
I can send you the cheatsheet to formatting on RB if you’d like.
Arletta replied
Ah, well, it was up near the front of his stuff and it has my poem as a comment, if that helps. Abstract something or other lol
I’ve used the cheat sheet for RB! There seems to be no method to the madness, as concerns whether or no any of it will work for me. Some days I get all the links just right, first go, and some days I can’t seem to get them to work no matter what. But, thank you for the offer. I may try to link it up better, later.

very good work well done

Thank you, very muchly. I’m about to put it in a book, accompanied by the charming picture from Mr. Cameron Gray that helped inspire it.
