euphoria, your surreal mania beyond enchantment
sip of your essence and the reins fell from my hands
whetting senses thought dormant
I’ve noticed there is no path, entwining enchantment
amid cautious thoughts that nurture the ardor waiting ~
unfolding like fractals in mutual esteem
shine with me your wisdom as I stumble a bit cry a bit
laugh at errors and wonders accepting the journey
where not knowing is the essence of being
pivotal twist of the stem, another realm
a quantum surrender of unknown quantities
losing myself deeply, immersed in this variable
yes exploring the unknowns
I seek my reply by leaning into self-growth
listening to it whisper, it’s here within
rejoice the day my passion intense will
scream the length of my scars

Exquisite artistry & poetry, I am so happy to squeeze your work here, thank you for sharing & welcome to The Juice Bar Paula! 🙂
Thank you ever so much, the honour and pleasure is all mine
Congrats Paula, Always a pleasure to read your work and look forward to both of you in the upcoming Anthology In The Company of Women! 🙂
Apryl, The Company of Women has proven to be more than a great book title. What joy it will be to have the book in my hands. You, Alicia, Ikthayer all are proof of the fine company I keep and it
is ever so grand.
Amazingly evocative and provocative, Paula. Experiencing your art is more than enjoyment – we become part of your art, as we are changed, too. Thank you.
Carl – thank you for the kind words of my art / writing
I really do not know what I would of done without it these past few years
Hard to choose a word sometimes, but I think of writing as art, also. I think there can be art (or magic, or wonder, or …) in a great many people, but the sad truth is it can dry up if not used. I love it when an artist calls to others’ hearts, souls, and spirits and opens up their vistas.
thank you to those bloggers : ) that have liked this poem/ image
