Holly Ringland
oh.
goodness.
bloody hell lady love, your words do this to me… i swoon, i swan around as i slip under and into their trance… and then smack... a clap to my heart… before you and me... i adore this. and as always, your inferred knowledge, the way you pull things from here and there and tie them in a bouquet so uniquely yours… well… you still, always, leave me slackjawed with your skill and ability. i love this little jewell.
Lisa Jewell replied
a swooning Holly is quite the treat. I’ve missed your lovely warmth on my work. I feel really blessed to see your sublime face here..xx

Thank you very much :)

yes no peculiarity, seasons turn,
befall ever which way…
and so too, the individual not from the same mold.
Lovely piece Lisa… mellow tone.
oxo
Lisa Jewell replied
exactly, “not from the same mould”
yes, I felt mellow when I wrote this, so I’m please that flowed through. x x
MagpieMagic
Lovely. Love the imagery.
Lisa Jewell replied
Thank you Sweetie x x
Matt Penfold
Oh my, I feel like writing a romantic response to this beautiful piece Lisa. No sign of the “jewell of denial” here, then again there never was really… you certainly have a seductive way with words, I can see why Holly was swooning :-)
Lisa Jewell replied
I can see Holly swooning too :))
nothing stopping you from writing a romantic response, I dare you, nah I double dare you ;)

“Yeah, something like that”

I could read this many times over…I did, I will again. Beautiful!
Lisa Jewell replied
Oh how lovely of you to say, Mark. I’m so pleased you enjoyed so much xox

Beyond beautiful Lisa – the imagery here is entirely captivating, perfectly moving. The thorn and the rose as Shakespearean drama – “written in the skies of Avalon before you and me.” That line alone would bring me to my knees in awe. Maybe – just maybe – the most beautiful thing you’ve ever written and that, my dear, is really going some! Superb writing.
Lisa Jewell replied
You are such a glorious woman,
I’m blushing,
how lovely of you to leave such heartfelt and beautiful comments
xoxo
ArcadiaTempest
The impossible becoming the possible….a love that has enough breath to breathe all the way from the valley of the Queens to the skies of Avalon… This was no mist that faded into legend…you so wrote for me of that kind of love that has a strength beyond the immediate. Beautifully blessed are those that will not be diminished by time etching days upon them…
Your romantic verse is wonderfully unique in your sublime scenting….XXXX
Lisa Jewell replied
you have done it again my Darling,
your comment is a written piece,
how I love your voice.
perhaps darling
such love only exists on parchment?
I hope not
but if it be true
than I shall never truly be alone
while words are written into sonnets and stories.
xoxo

Brilliant work !!:D

Captivating to be such Beingness.. Your work is fantasy made real in our hearts Lisa..
This really is by far one of your best. xxxxOOOOO
Lisa Jewell replied
I feel captive right now,
your words are a balm my darling,
thank you so much
XOXOXO
JaneSolomon
Oh I love this Lisa….I think it could be your best….hard to choose with you….;-) Wonderful! xxx
Lisa Jewell replied
aww thanks Jane, it would seem this piece has resonated for many, I’m not sure it is my best…but then again we all have our own favourites ;) xoxo

thesis, antithesis, synthesis – hegel would bow low and sweep off his black hat to you. our souls are taken when the sun is the furthest from us and given when it returns. we are both rose and thorn – each third of the cycle not to be rejected lest the inertia of an incomplete marriage occur. and i would so like to see the skies of Avalon! a beautiful, insightful romance of the most realistic kind. you are a bardess! x
Lisa Jewell replied
your thoughts are so flattering,
I am blushing. Hegel, takes me back to Philosophy 101 I was only thinking I need to return to study.
I shall keep romance alive in my fingertips if nowhere else.
thank you Judith,
for such high praise x x x
skinnyman
The romance continues in your imagery. A Shakespearian love affair wrote new history…a hardened rose fell deeply in love with a softened thorn
My words fail Lisa, yours say so much. xx
Lisa Jewell replied
I’m glad you like this piece, Peter :)
xoxo
Christie Moses
Left shivers on my skin…this is so beautiful and that line “it was written in the skies of Avalon before you and me” speechless….
I echo Lianne…me thinks its one of your very best and thats saying a lot because you are brilliant XXOO
Lisa Jewell replied
How lovely,
skin shivers are :)
thank you so much Dear Christie,
your thoughts are divine
xoxox
Steve Strodder...
oh wow…totally speechless, this is amazing.
Lisa Jewell replied
Hey Steve,
so glad you think so.
can you believe I sat down to start writing a piece for the writers meet, it was meant to be a very dark piece and this what surfaced. I still have to write a blood and gore poem LOL
xox
Jack Grace
A great love story Lisa.
Lisa Jewell replied
As a love story should be ;)
thanks Jack xo
danielklaas
As beautiful as anything I’ve read here. Lovely work once more.
Lisa Jewell replied
What a lovely thing to say,
thank you so kindly, Daniel xo
jim marshal
Lisa this is goddam brilliant, truly. I found it more accessible than some of your others. The hard rose and the soft thorn was pure genius, the paradox, like yin within yang and vice versa. And the ending so satisfying -
no peculiarity
If ever I would “fall in love” with a piece this might be the one. Thanks for the link.
Lisa Jewell replied
Oh wow,
I had a feeling you might enjoy,
and appreciate the interchange
one of the things that is very important to me
is the understanding that soft can be hard and vise versa
I hope you and my “unlikely or” are very happy together hehe xxx
bill bell
This is wonderful Lisa, my lame attempts at praise would fail so let’s just say i enjoyed it :)
Lisa Jewell replied
enjoying is more than enough,
oh but Bill there is no way you could write anything lame xo
Mark Ramstead
Yes.

I’m not going to try and guess
which you are and which your wife is…

Lisa Jewell replied
OOoO a swoon
Im smiling x o
Mark Ramstead
It works, but it is hard and underneath it hurts…
Lisa Jewell replied
A hardened rose and a soften thorn
Are to my mind a perfect match..
but I don’t think we’re really speaking about that,
functionality on its own would leave a partially empty feeling and it is that emptiness that causes the hurt feeling.
Mark Ramstead
It seems to me that filling that empty hole, hurts others even more…
Lisa Jewell replied
Anytime we attempt to fill a hole with a person
We are ostensibly using them
This never can go down well
Exchange of care and love should never be about filling a person’s hole.
Mark Ramstead
You would know…
Mark Ramstead
Funny how it never occurs to you that I feel used…
Lisa Jewell replied
I hope you’d not put yourself in a situation where you are being used.

Mark Ramstead
Like ours?
Lisa Jewell replied
like ours?
what does that mean, Mark?
Tracey Mac
I’ve come to learn that unlikely is always a possibility….........
You cement this here, and portray the ideal love in a completely never say never format of unrealistic dreams and desires, turned completely all the way around and into a world of ‘believe and it will happen’.........one that works for me…......
I’m gonna start writing your poems all over my study walls (they are very old and need repainting so it would look awesome!) so at any given time I can look up and read you into my day or night and smile and dream…..sigh
xxxo
Lisa Jewell replied
sigh
that is the most romantic thing ever said to me, the idea my work would adorned your walls
well that is almost too much to bear, you know beauty so beautiful you can barely breath.
such is your magic and love my darling heart
your words are balm
love you xoxox
silvercircles
Love the reference to roses and thorns!! It is strange how two different things, velvet rose petals and prickly thorns, could come from the same plant . . . Love the symbolism. So romantic . . .
Lisa Jewell replied
it is the old question
who is the beauty and who is the beast.
thank you so much x

Very likely! Like a bookmark the solstice, so early on, marked my page?

Lovely of you to say :) thanks x

Hi Sally,
I hope you’re breathing ok now hehe ;) thanks so very much, beautiful woman xoxo

Lisa Jewell replied
Oh thanks so much :)))
lawrie .
‘Yes’. ‘Written in the skies of Avalon before you and me’. And therin lays so much truth, sometimes a truth we do not understand, its why’s and wherefore’s but a knowing inside, that sometimes requires much faith and courage to believe and to cling on…...Occasionally we falter and slip, as we a mere mortals, suffering from mortal weakness…..Learning to allow the wings to fly is a step we can take once we trust that they will not let us fall…....much thought, thank you Lisa…... Deeply beautiful, a read that that sings out….Some say Afal some say Aval but perhaps thats just a welsh / cornish thing….x o
Lisa Jewell replied
Hi Lawrie,
what a lovely comment :))) in my dream world I’m not a mere mortal, how lovely is that?
