Gentle Wisdom

Dearest Lu,

I make you smart

I know I do

as I charge in

and trample you

with the delicacy

of a watchmaker

with a mallet

 

when you divulge me

your secrets

sacred

so carefully kept

your feelings accoutred

your deepest

treasured thoughts

Like the jewels of

aladdin's cave

 

not to get

the melanchological Lu

wrestle this beast

feelings chewed

and we feast

on emotional stew

too much salt

I add to this soup

 

words twist

like smoke

in wind

unformed

unfathomed

scrambled

scratched communication

in the bramble

 

rescind does Lu

when all unpieced

to the floor like dust

when conveyance

ceased

and words rare

like a desert rain

 

abrupt admit

at times

rough

not delicate

I concede these crimes

laddering tights

of your emotions

 

our souls

strive to unify

but friction strong

although we try

just not safe

to belong!

the bead rolls

off the oily wing

 

but here, Lu

heart loyal

against the

portcullis

of your soul

standing watch

this, my role

in this time

when all

seems war

 

standing bowed

and sensing calm

I lower

my fighting arm

forgive my

energy

as yet untamed

but willing

 

this is me

and this you

the grass is greener

in front of you

but here the seed

you must hold

be bold

loving true

 

steadfast

and stubborn

sometimes skill

sometimes fault

my loyalty to you

safe in the vault

if you wish

to choose

this coven

 

for although

seemingly adamantine

at first glance

although strong

in stance

I can bend

like a bow of yew

my arrow ready

for target choosed

 

but remember this

Princess Lu

who you are

and what you do

and this day

smell the dew

look out the window

admire the view

creation beautiful

as you are too

 

come out

come out!

tend to your realm

your people need you

of their hearts

you helm

and hold

in spell

imagination vigour'd

by your

gentle wisdom

"Lu" reminds me of Dr. Seuss and only adds to the charm of this piece. Delightfully light and airy with its rhyme yet deep and meaningful in content. Perfect o!

[Captain Goldpants]

Does anyone think I should make this more 'universal', or leave personal - as is? Does it seem to removed from the reader as it mentions a specific name?

[Siddartha Beth Pierce]

Quite an intriquing write - an interesting relationship you have painted in this piece. Beautiful work. Thank you.
Light,

this is quite fascinating.

"too much salt / I add to this soup"

that line was the first one that realy caught me, but then there were so many after that, that it would be a waste of all our time for me to copy and paste. :P

a very unique style, i'll be interested in reading some more. :)
