RE: Infatuation.
Jockey, sometimes we don't control our lust for someone, our infatuations give away. Getting to know someone deeply takes time. Real friendship turns into something else, more durable, and real love blooms. We are not at the mercy of fate, we make it happen.
RE: Jubilation of the rose
ocean, this poem by W.Blake was taken as the basis for the libretto for the ballet The Death of the Rose. I see that lovecanbereal felt it that way too, right? any way..all I was going to say, loved your new style , Lily
RE: Infatuation.
maybe we are at the mercy of fate Jocky!Jubilation of the rose
Wow LCBR we got you going there!, nice lines, yeah I have been to Rosehill and also to Randwick. Yeah the Golden Slipper for 2 yo's, there's a classic.Enjoyed that Blake poem Lily but I admit I don't fully comprehend it.
Thanks for the comment Mick, yes just trying a different style.

RE: Jubilation of the rose
Typo, who cares about the history and lore?RE: Jubilation of the rose
And the roses of RosehillWill be no more,
Gentle petals drowsy
Make to weep
The green common dashed
Like a chalice to the ground
And come a few more Autumn's
No slipper will be found
And as those gentle roses
Make to weep
Suburbia encroaches more and more
But they must have a place to put the sheep
So who care about the history and lore?
Zest,
Of course the slipper is in Autumn and roses bloom in Spring, so I have an excellent metaphor - the dying of the rose
(In my poetic ecstasies, I got a little confused, so I set the record straight, here)...
RE: Jubilation of the rose
A very classical romantic write Ocean,It's good to see you experimenting with new styles. Enjoyed !
Mick.
RE: Jubilation of the rose
nicely written oceanreminded me a poem of William Blake
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
RE: Jubilation of the rose
But the rose riseth next spring,A piquant perfume pervades Rosehill,
Horses on their toes,
The two year olds do prance,
To wear that fancy slipper,
For the one who does best dance.
One day housing will cover thee,
And memories will be no more,
Who cares to cheapen history?
And at what price is the score?
Ok, ocean, roses are very poetic. You got me going with your excellent imagery

Thank You @southmiami4321I truly enjoy sharing what I write with others, in hopes of it maybe touching or inspiring them in some way. and I like to push the boundaries of literary undestanding, lingering there, then tell stories in multiple layers. So that more can be gained with each pass through when reading it over again. And sometimes a plot twist takes us to a different form of self. Thank you for responding.
RE: Autumn"s love
Still sending hugs and prayers Lily - love wins over for eternity. Prayers for your loved ones in danger. Prayers for peace and the end of war.Kathy

RE: Let me be
I don't know if you know Jimmydean, but the human body has some organs that can regenerate itself, example the liver and skin. With one liver, two lives can be saved. Each time your liver filters alcohol, some of the liver cells die. The liver can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse can reduce its ability to regenerate. The skin regenerates itself every 27 days. The only thing is that this happens in the upper layers (epidermis) but the deeper layers called dermis do not go through this process.Just say to yourself "let me be sober"and you'll see many tomorrows....SM
