Journal johndiii's Journal: [Beloved] [Original Poetry] Pen Cap, Diamond 2

A bit of whimsy, beloved...

        Pen cap, diamond, catch my eye
                Stranger things not seen have I
        Risking, apples, stacks of green
                Divers mind has set this scene
        Six-sides, facet, pink-wings, grain
                Knowledge does not spare me pain
        Pages, logo, moleskine, sack
                Smell of coffee brings me back
        Green-leaves, gray-leaves, plastic lid
                Love is written, love is said
        Shortbread, mermaid, book of poems
                Wand'rers find their one true homes
        Water bending beams of light
                Pray my love is safe tonight
        Leather, paper, empty chair
                Would my love were sitting there
        Ink on paper, cap on tight
                Dream of me, my love, tonight.

...and there you are again. You grace my days, in divers ways... Thine.

Author's Note: This started as a bit of doggerel, a simple meditation on the objects sitting on the table in front of me. It became a little more than that. It is substantially the same as originally set down - one word was changed, and the couplets were rearranged. To me, the mood is very reminiscent of Infusions (posted last night), but with an admixture of whimsy.

(W00t! An Author's Note! Cool!!!) :-)
