The ripe flush of being, a tapestry displayed,
In delicate stitches, each memory is laid.
Designs of a lifetime unfold on lavish looms,
Portraying existence in milli-fiore blooms.
Each subtle encounter, each tended pleasure seen,
Grows wild upon linen, in palettes aubergine.
The fragrance of living enriches silken threads,
The essence of loving spun in elusive webs.
Now each joy and sorrow pulls taut the canvas plys,
Envelops the background, where lonliness resides.
Contentment embraces the border of our dreams,
Entwined in the lustrous binding of life's seams.
Each portrait of being, so intimate and lush,
Does richly embellish the passing of time's blush.

I am wonderfully delighted that you have aloud us all the pleasure of being able to to read such art. Excellent, by far one of the best writes I have ever read.
Joan, I agree with all the comments made by everyone about this poem. It is more than deserving of 5 praise points...its definitely a TEN!!! The flow, the rhyme, the theme, the wonderful use of words. I can find nothing wrong this poem. I enjoyed reading, and look forward to more of your work.
Heh! And at first I wondered how someone could give ANYTHING a ten (after reading Regina's comments)...but then I went and read it. Wow. I loved it. I don't see anywhere I'd change it and my favorite part is...
The fragrance of living enriches silken threads,
The essence of loving spun in elusive webs.
I think I'll go and read more of your work later tonight.
Wow! This has to be one of my favorites from you yet! (well... maybe it ties with Pixie Spirits! ^-^) But still it's just outstanding! And with the way you use imagery, I probably would've guessed this was yours without even looking at the name!! I so love the originality in this, and at least with the praise system, I can actually give you a 10! n_n
Welcome !
