Feline beauty seen
In those big, round golden eyes
And her switching tail

Silky silver fur
Such an adorable face
And pretty whiskers

Hold her near my heart
Finally got a friend now
A true one indeed

Our feline kisses
Exchanged, our eyes purrty meet
Whiskers tickle cheeks

Hugging her to me
Stroking silky-fine grey fur
Jane nuzzles my nose

Blessing from above
Warms my heart with love so sweet
Only cats can give

*~Marian~
Written for my sweet, special, beautiful,
and proud feline friend, Lady Jane!!! (: <3
Honey, I hope you enjoy it!!! (:
I'll have to read it to her sometime!!! :) ~~~~~<3
May write some more for her sometime!!! :) ~~~~~<3
Baptizing her head
in a basin of ash
the stark white of her
angel hair
now smokes with cinder black
Her eyes
green once,
now lighten in dramatic contrast
piercing white, ice blue
that leave your heart to tremble when she laughs.
Angular and insecure
her body a mere wasteland
of what it was before
For when He banishes an angel
she will walk the streets
as a *****.
My favorite instrument of all
It seems hard to believe
That I never ever played one
The more I listen to such beauty
The more I long for one of my own
The tender strings being plucked gently
Give me such a thrill when I listen to them
But how I long to play one myself
Instead of listening helplessly
I long to play the Pedal Harp
But have high doubts that I ever will
For they cost too much money
And I doubt I'll ever be
Rich enough to afford one
But I keep on wishing and praying for one
Because I just cannot help
But admire their beauty
Those strings produce
When playing a solo
Or playing a part in an orchestra
I always try to imagine
What it would be like if I could but play one
But I always end up
With a picture as blank as a sheet of paper
When it comes to imagining me
Playing a Pedal Harp

*~Marian~
I have a passion for music and all instruments!! (: ~~~~<3
But my most favorite instrument of all is the Pedal Harp!! :) ~~~<3
I don't why I ever fell in love with such an expensive instrument,
but I have and cannot help myself!! :D ~~~~<3
I always keep wishing and praying for one
even though it maybe a vain and frivolous thought or wish!!! :)
Sorry this poem sounds boring!!! :P
I'll try to do better next time, I promise!! :) ~~~~<3
(: ~~~~~<3
Laughter merry and sweet
Rings out across the mountains
And valleys
Hills and dales
Laughter merry and sweet
Chimes out across the oceans
And blue-green seas
Laughter merry and sweet
Does the heart good
And is a medicine for pain
If you still aren't happy
Crack a joke or two
And then see if you're not laughing
Along with me too
Giggles are like music
Sometimes good, sometimes bad
When done in moderation
It's the perfect pill
For heartache, depression,
Loneliness, fear, and pain
Laughter merry and sweet
Rings out across the earth
Like bells chiming
And tinkling
In a shady forest

*~Marian~
Laughter...just what I need to soothe my pain!! (: ~~~~<3
Sometimes we all could use a does of giggles or happy laughter,
but to be taken with care!! :) ~~~~<3
Please enjoy this random poem!! (: ~~~~~<3
Greatest eagle, black and white,
Tell me how to reach the skies—
Wander with wind into the night,
Are you lost like me when you fly?
I see you marking the flaming sun
And want to follow your windy path,
Rising after moon, majestic one—
What trials of life in your aftermath?
Today I'm trying to ignore the pain
I can imagine butterflies
Are carrying my pain to the fluffy clouds
I can imagine birds are singing to me
Instead of the constant pills I have to swallow
I can imagine that little gnomes and fairies
Are trying to take away most of my pain
Instead of the pain medicine that I take
With a snack or a meal
I can imagine that rainbows and shooting stars
Adorn the sky instead of the grey clouds
That fill the sky
I can also imagine that the day is warm enough
For our games of croquet or perhaps volleyball
Instead of the howling winds and bitter cold
That lace the air outside the house
I can try to picture myself
Reading a book underneath a sunny, shady tree
Or laying beside a babbling brook or creek
Dreaming the hours away
Instead of sitting here in the rocking recliner
Trying to ignore the pain

*~Marian~
Yeah, I guess I'm in a little pain because of
having the corners of my ingrown toenail removed, and a slight headache perhaps!!! ~~~~<3
But I'll try to ignore the pain, and be brave if possible!!! :) ~~~~~<3
Update: the podiatrist wants to see me Tuesday
I guess because he wants to see if it's healing!!!! (: ~~~~<3
But I'm going to try to ignore the pain!!! :) ~~~<3
your beauty does not fade,
your self, remaking, and remade,
you see empty,
we see refilling,
seeking, dreaming,
but make no mistake,
isolation is not your condition,
no, instead think permutation,
you are skin shedding, evolving
the newer new, substance over
lip gloss of surface
and the voyage of transition
is wondrous to us.
Behold!
Behold, a
Kelly Rose!

Postscript:

Tho the central sun warms the unfolding,
It is the bitter winded cold of the northeast that
Queries, what is the stuff of your composure?
Where artists litter the pavement, some rising,
Some falling, but all teaching by watching
You pirouette.

So when the inner quest is not sufficient,
Come to where the weather's central quest,
Is a reminder constant that there is no answer,
For humans are seasonal creatures,
Forever changing their skins or else
Slow dying under a tan that hides
No change

The postscript came to me later, obseving the snow flurries and and the NYCB dancers performing Concert Barocco (music by Bach) at the ballet now
Dedicated to Mr. Stephen Sondheim**


What is that, Dad?
Why that's red!
Red?
Red is a color.
A color?

Oh yes, colors are those very special things
that make all the difference, that make people and things
different, special and special is what you are to me.

What is that, Dad?
Why that's a cloud!
A cloud?

Oh yes, fluffy snowballs that are toys for angels, see them flowing across the blue screen, that is the angels playing games, like we do too!

What is that, Dad?
Why that is love tears!
Love tears?

Yes, love is what I feel when allowed, me to teach you, about the world and it is wet like tears and dry like when you make me big smile for asking the greatest questions and let me love, my being alive, even more, for the sum song of just we two.
Inspired by a HBO documentary watched last night, entitled Six By Sondheim, about the composer Steven Sondheim, his life, his views on art.  Famous for his willingness to teach, in response to a question about never having children, he replied that he regretted it for what a wonderful thing it would be to teach a child about colors and...if he read this, he would likely say, throw it out and start over and someday I will...
He also spoke about the significant  differences between writing lyrics and poetry (which are substantial).
