"Turned pages compose out rhymes together" ... This is so brilliant and I even got an auditory impression, as if hearing the collective pages turn as a congregation in church flips pages at about the same time. Wow, that's cool. I hope you are well. I got this strange thought to catch up with one other person and you today. I've no idea why, but I hope all is well. Take care. Bruce.

Ageless Dorian Grey...a very soft and insinuating first lines that draws me into that ageless picture. You always write of things that intrigue me. Keep on going, great friend.

As you can see, I'm still catching up from my trip. What an intriguing animated picture! I always enjoy your circularity, and I especially liked the "melodies play tunes to borrowed times". Hugs and have a productive new week- Joan

My dearest friend. How could I have missed this. I had some little problems home and have been in and out, but missing your work is a heartache.
I liked this little piece told in the ingenious way that captures the essence of the original with the addition of Dorian Gray gives that mirror extra worth.

Sorry to have missed this, my brother. My support for you is as endless as yours for me.
Best wishes.
RG

and so the looking glass opens
a crack in the mirror
just w i d e n e d
patina slipped-slid from glazed eyes
and the lessons of ages
collided
composing new tunes for old sambas.

heart of love
faith scrolled across pages
and under skin's armour
flutters

evil of ages
bellows ageless

Bathsheba and David
still wait
patient
as new dawn of Venus arises

Dorian Grey revealed.

Nice moving picture of a girl dancing in front of a mirror. I loved the stanza: Calypso captured in song of Siren. Should the last word not be plural? A perfect free style verse.

In a world where your barely able to grow old gracefully without the temptation of keeping up with the fresh faced youth of today...there are still some of us, who appreciate what's actually underneath. No matter HOW we look, it's our soul that touches another.
Love your writing Michael...always so sensual, no matter the subject. Most enjoyable, nicely done, smooth as silk.
