Reach
reach for me as crepuscule obscures time’s passage–
flesh understands desire is transtemporal
hearts and minds know circumstance is not
live in words filling pages that will become immortal
once our souls part from ephemeral existence
craft a caim for this moment
conjur a spirit to strike a bargain for a future promise
to meet again–
as inextinguishable light seeking refuge beneath the horizon
as delicate illumination sparkling in disguise as marmoris
as impassioned orbs destined to converge in sempiternal ecstasy

Three spirits, it seems,
In three verses. None of them
Quite right. Yet.
Early morning time on the patio to try again. And your lines are singing.
Beautiful words (a couple I had to look up). And a message too felt.

Thanks, Joseph. I received more prompts (including some obscure terms) from Rhea. Today’s writing was rough. I appreciate that you read it and had kind things to say about it.
Also, my phone sucks in terms of formatting and spacing. Oof.
Last night’s writing kept me up from 8 to 3. With three not quite there pieces. I feel ya.
Reconfiguring now.
But this one is…beautiful.
Joseph, your writing is magnificent. I truly admire your writing. The time and care you put into your craft is amazing. Truthfully, I am surprised you even read my little renderings. ☺️
My only defense: Your voice is one I hear. No, feel.
They will always draw my eyes.
You are just the greatest and dearest soul. I hope to write alongside you, in real time, one day in the future. I will admit, I will likely learn a TON more from you than you would from me. I enjoy writing in community with others. It would be awesome to write with you.

Replied 😉
My apologies for not navigating this site so well, however, I don’t see anything beneath my response above. Hmm…I just see “replied” and a little wink emoji. I think I missed something…??
I have every confidence you’ll find your way 😂
Mini PoMo response:
Your confidence is generous.
I’m a jackasss.

😂😂😂😂😂
All’s well that ends well.
And I love that you use fin/finis as well 😂
I swear to you! I don’t see your reply! I feel like my mother trying to navigate a new computer. How ridiculous! Please, usher me to the nearest elder care facility. Yikes.
I posted today’s poem, H.A.
It’ll be okay. We’re all getting old and the Luddite issue is real.
Bronson had to fix mine for me.
Oooooooooooooooooh. I get it now. Ha!
Beautiful- lines to swim around in all afternoon 🙂
Thank you, Leah! Once again, my writer friend sent me prompts…and added some tough phrases as well. It took me a while to even attempt to put this together. I genuinely appreciate your kind response. It still reads a bit clunky to me, so thank you so, so much!
