Threshold of richness
Chocolate wraps in the mouth
Blinding buds and tongue
Blinding buds and tongue—
Absinthe can cause you Lethe—
Sweet River of Forget…
Sweet River of Forget -
Sleep, mindless sleep, eases pain,
'less active with dreams.
less active with dreams
but if you want to reach them,
you've to go get'em!
(blech, chopping out syllables)
you've to go get'em,
inspiring their stubborn minds,
to learn and crave more.
to learn and crave more,
to open life's floodgates wide -
that's a life well-lived!
that's a life well-lived,
when you do the best you can,
one to be proud of.
*Montgomery Gentry does a song; "Something to be Proud of," that's what I was thinking about.
One to be proud of,
The way she smiles angel like,
Makes me think at night.
Makes me think at night,
Stars twinkling in midnight skies;
Austere points of light.
Austere points of light
Bounce off intricate life lines
Humans hold the sun
Humans hold the sun
Not knowing the sun is wing'd
And beyond their grasp
and beyond their grasp
float dreams of peace, harmony...
streets of dying hope
streets of dying hope—
rivers of bittersweet dreams—
my soul cries for help…
my soul cries for help,
reaching toward the distant stars
in search of solace
In search of solace
I reach towards the flagon
But it is empty
but it is empty_
my heart now voided of all,
shadows haunt it's halls.
Shadows haunt. It's Hall's
hour of desolation, come
to its fulfilment.
to its fulfilment
the worker bee quetched nought with
household held dear
with household held dear,
brothers begin long journey
leading to life's joys
Leading to life's joys,
Roads of expectant success;
Avenues of toil.
Avenues of toil
Fight to parry streams of
Death, terrene tumult
Hi white camellia, how funny I should see your name first when I went to search. I am watching "Lady of the Camellia's" - the ballet...based on Dumas novel by the same name. It is wonderful. That is an interesting name for Lit Net...I like it and your avatar. I like your tragic Haiku as well.
Death, terrene tumult
Await the doomed couple, thus
They dance with passion.
Thinking of the ballet.
They dance with passion
round a little stone statue
til the shine wore off.
till the shine wore off
on her oval cheeks, languished
the camélias
Hi Janine, so nice to hear from you! I've read "La Dame aux Camelias" a few times, loving it.Quote:

Yes, should be great as you felt it wonderful. I wonder does the ballet omit too, like the film, the opening chapter about Armand visiting his deceased love, her body...
the camellias
heady with lustrous fragrance
remind me of home…
remind me of home -
speak of apple pies cooling,
children playing tag
children playing tag
with the dog over my bed
at 7 A.M

day begins with warm croissants,
may it end as well
may it end as well
oftimes i forget to breathe,
chest poised in mid-flight
chest poised in mid-flight,
air stirring each fragile hair...
for a moment, peace
Actually, the ballet starts like a story in pantamine. The lover is coming to the sale of her worldly possessions; an auction in one stark room. He then dreams back (flash backs) to the past. It was a wonderful production with some of the best dancing I have ever seem - very sensual and passionate. The young male lover is so handsome it is worth watching the film just to see him. Apparently the film is hard to come by and sells on Amazon for over 200 dollars for a used tape...unreal! Now I want to read the book so badly. I understand the film "Moulin Rouge" also was based on the Dumas' book, I had not known that. Read it online.Quote:

Dancers pause between notes;
Air fragrantly spiced.
Air fragrantly spiced
will drip wind like melting ice,
sweet like mountain streams.
Sweet like mountain streams,
Mist of lusty lilic breath,
Vales of spring rain cloud.
Vales of spring rain cloud:
all in preparation for

ktd22—
still no atvar graces your post—
are you real or ghost?
that was cute, Penn! Yes, ktd22 - you need an avy....
Are you real or ghost;
Phantom or dust particles;
Breathing vapors lost?
breathing vapors lost
shrouded by wizards' unknown
words they heal, they kill.
