I follow the copper shadows Of a moody night. The night..yawns..wakeful A blind stirring Sleep flickers through dreams Like the dip of a comet tail When constellations define the ebon Stars cavort a discotheque in the night screen.. A viburnum of words spill Like gold roses in a statice bouquet Time promises...an old promise Time becomes a commandment of a forgotten future When sorrow besieges..ruthless in its mystery Fatal sometimes in its saga. With viburnum of words, I ask sorrow to liberate me Sorrow looks at me with affection And tells me, 'I love to devastate you' My innocence begs to be liberated From the shackles of boundaries.. My benchmark yells ' I never break'
My dearest Y, this is breathtaking! I follow you in the night and inside the fatal time . The asking hurts, terrifies, purifies “I ask sorrow to liberate me/Sorrow looks at me with affection /And tells me, ‘I love to devastate you'” the entire poem is a big WOW!

When one receives such a gift and has the capacity to respond – even over clackings on plastic and seen phosphorically on a bland formerly blank screen – one must so as to thank the universe – and the author of such art. I wish only I had more time to read more of you more often and forget not the same with not just a small number of others who play in this garden whom you have – in your orbit or their own which unsurprisingly I find so near yours – that I could stay sated and encouraged. Why, I might even have time to try editing my scritch/slappings of fingertips’ pads upon the clacking clickety keys (almost wrote (Ceys) and thus say more shorter – to steal an apology from SL Clemens.

Hi Yassy, I hope and trust you’re doing great. My return to your corner of the internet since my absence is awesome, I must confess. I’ve missed a lot and am catching up on your amazing poetry works now.
This you entitled “Statice” is one of a kind among recent contemporary poetry works, as it comprises of many elements that are significant forces related to nature (the night, stars, & time). You are awesome in putting the night, stars, time, sorrow, and jazzy flowering plants together to compel your notion in this amazing poetry work.
We can discuss those elements for ever, but you sprinkled them in bits to spice-up this poetry work, and you did that amazingly Yassy. More grease to your elbow, more ink to your pen, and I wish you more wisdom and inspiration for more remarkable poetry works. Stay blessed and keep up the good work.
