I should have known
the way he drifted past mirrors

his reflection just a hint
above nothing like the sun before dawn

but his kisses moistsweet as dew
prove to hard to resist

so here I am
aloft above the solemn shape of his love

little deaths are his speciality
and like the caged bird

I'll still sing
even with my heart torn open.

Loooovely picture dear Inda, people peeking out! he he..

Moistsweet!

Being a musician I "hear you" on many levels! And how wise to SING!!! regardless of a cage, or heart tear or little death.. isn't this what living is...

Get comfortable and sit a spell, make yourself at OM... Thank you for this fine gift of "I Sing - Therefore I Am" it is simply beautiful.

Love and light being, Teo Do (Re, Mi, Fa...)

yes I am trying to find my OM
and maybe it's true.

Aren't we all.

"little deaths are his specialty"

You have some amazing phrases. We are ever being reborn hum?

Still singing, with the torn open heart... reminds me how when a performer goes on they say : "Break a leg." Maybe that's it, perform your bleeps out or off hum?

Love and light singing, Teo Do (Re, Mi, Fa...)

Sing songbird, sing, for even with your throat torn open you make a lovely sound,
Lovely poem
