how smooth you slip into my dreams
like a free-floatin’ licorice stream
runnin’ south by southwest downhill
makin’ me wish we was together still
your love seeking salvation in the crevices
etched in my flesh by all those lost faces
of time without life without light
a time like some kind’a biblical blight
time standin’ still in the barren sands
holdin’ me hostage in hell’s bad lands
like a free-floatin’ licorice stream
runnin’ south by southwest downhill
makin’ me wish we was together still
your love seeking salvation in the crevices
etched in my flesh by all those lost faces
of time without life without light
a time like some kind’a biblical blight
time standin’ still in the barren sands
holdin’ me hostage in hell’s bad lands
then come wet blessin’s from blue skies above
washin’ you in with all’a your love
next come the sweet rains pourin’ down
makin’ me wish i could lay down ‘n drown
in your free-floatin’ licorice stream
that slides so swift into my dreams
runnin’ south by southwest downhill
straight to the spot’a the kill
washin’ you in with all’a your love
next come the sweet rains pourin’ down
makin’ me wish i could lay down ‘n drown
in your free-floatin’ licorice stream
that slides so swift into my dreams
runnin’ south by southwest downhill
straight to the spot’a the kill
washin’ away all'a my will
makin’ me wish we was together still
south by southwest
downhill
makin’ me wish we was together still
south by southwest
downhill

Hi there gypsywoman,
it has been awhile, but i'm glad to be back, wandering around in your beautiful world.
Sweet greetz! Monica
greetings, monica! wonderful to have you drop by again - how have you been? thanks so much for the kind words and visit! do come again soon!!! have a great day!
it's difficult to run away from those dreams that make the past look better than it was.
yes, it is difficult to run away from those dreams, isn't it - and all the more difficult to run from those that cannot do justice to the way things were - sigh -
those dreams that bring such a sense of life and reality where you awaken with his scent lingering still...the sound of his laughter on your pillow...
thanks so much for coming by dear lady! wonderful to see you and i hope all is well in your world!
Yes, you're right, nice your words, I loved your dreams slip by.
So glad you're back! I love this one. Can it be included?
hello, leovi! how wonderful to have you come by and leave a note - thank you so much - glad you like -
well, back bit by bit, trish - i really like this piece, too - and it really is the result of a couple of recent intense dreams - and yes, i'm including it in first batch - glad you like! ;)
Complex, as always....Beautiful and your writing always makes me think and touches me, too....!
oh, hello dear naomi! thank you so much for your visit and kind comment - i like it, too, i must say - as usual, i had no clue where this was going when i jotted down the first words - and they/first words then just did the rest - i sometimes feel as if i'm just an instrument of something else - my hands, the instrument, the mechanism, to facilitate whomever/whatever it is that does these pieces! ;)
On your other blog, that poem, wow. I tried to comment but couldn't find a place to do so. At any rate, it may well be one of your best, Gypsy.
trish - you are speaking of "it's true" at words unspoken? oh, thank you so very much! i've copied and pasted this comment over there - have no clue why you were unable to leave a comment - were you able to see the other comments at all? i've looked and can't figure out what was wrong for you - but hope this takes care of your having been there! ;)
and as always, your words more than humble my heart! thank you!
I love the idea of a liquorice stream:)
so do i, pat! ;)
have no clue from whence that little phrase sprung into my mind but i love it! the thought of it!
I am so very sorry to read of your dear sister's death...! My heart goes out to you and I send you Healing Hugs....These losses can do you in, I know.....My thoughts are with you, my dear.
thank you ever so much for your kind words, naomi! i know that you know from whence i come these days - with loss and sadness - and i send you all my healing wishes for you in your own time of loss, dear lady!
