Sliding

[wytchcroft]

shiver and slip my fingers summon up the nerve and sinew
blood muscle breathing oxygen in the slipstream sliding 
silver steel - they call it steel
sat down some place and waiting for the chords to come 
it's easier they say if you
steal - heavy pockets filled with shadows and
steel finger shining glass and metal strings - the wooden arm extended 
wrapped like wire round the bloody heart I wear upon my sleeve 
emotions –everything, they say, is just learning to play
each simple tune as the whirling notes dance, glide and swim
these silver flying fish that leap from clumsy fingers
i will catch these flying fish
one day
sat down some place and waiting.

LOL! :) who wouldn't???

Wow- I loved this! It's just so... so... poetic!
The visual imagery of notes as silver flying fish... just great!
I wrote a poem once about learning to play the guitar and it was mostly about how badly my fingers hurt! ;)

i mostly play songs about how bad my poetry hurts ha ha ha!

no, seriously - thanks!:D
i dunno what little sketches like this are exactly, they just come out and i put them in here and forget about them, i hope they capture a moment is all. :):)

[reginaclarejane.livejournal.com]

Well, it worked for me! Anytime you want to post more, I am here!

as a reader not used so much to English poetry, I sometimes just engoy the difference - and clear images created by this different perception point (in my case).
It is a pleasure to watch them here, in your words' world.

Спасибо!! - you are the nicest:)

yes, this is just words really.

but i know what you mean, i think that's why i enjoy reading so many things in different languages myself - there's a freedom somehow to just experience 'words' without the rulebook and preconceptions. And that i really do like.

best wishes to you and your family! :D

[stoshagownozad.livejournal.com]

Thanks - and the best wishes for you and yours dear in the New year :)

Gorgeous. Can I copy down and keep this?

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

sure:)

more importantly - it's good to have you back in the LJ labyrinth!:)

[chalissa.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) It's funny - inbetween semesters I always seem to drop out of the LJ-world for a few weeks, even though I officially have more time, and therefore should be blogging MORE... I dunno. It's weird. Anyway, I hope to start posting new entries soon!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

i thought maybe you had already - but under another name...

anyway - it's nice to hear from ya!:):)

[chalissa.livejournal.com]

Naw, I'm too attached to this old blog to move on to another one, although I'd happily change the name, if that user "jinx" would only delete hers!

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

LOL! :)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]

i'd say i missed you - but where's my hardboiled facade then???

(oh yeah, i forgot, what hard-boiled facade - well ok, i missed ya!)

[chalissa.livejournal.com]

Aw, I missed you too wytch! *snuggles* Damn that real life, always getting in the way of LJ... ;)

[wytchcroft.livejournal.com]
