" TELL HER THAT'S YOUNG "

" TELL HER THAT'S YOUNG "

Tell her that's young
Then recall
Your own intermittent youth
And try
Sleuthing the truth
But,
You know it's there
Skating the ice pond
Where you kept
Your secrets
As a child
knowing
That
The inevitable Aria
Would catch up with you
Like
A slow flute
Whose breath so melodiously
Played your youth
Over
And over again like the song
Itself
immortalizing bassoons in heights
Yet unbeknownst
To those who would linger
In the languidness of the virile
and
Lucidly insane percussion blowing beyond
Itself and its
So abroad-ness, its lonely
Structure and soliloquy singing
To the marshes,
To the marshes
Triumphant recollection
Of things to come
Of the very existence of God
Or those
Who might
Make such a heightenedly musical
reference
In the midst of the malaise descending
From Heavenly flutes
And Impresario's scurrying
To finally succumb
And finally
Tell her
"That's young"..

A brilliant write big bro. You truly became a conductor of poetry eloquently composing your well comstructed symphony of words. I thought everything from the beginning was so well in detail of ourselves in youth so full of questions so strong in faith. The orchestra instruments was a great symbolism for lifes ups and downs, and whats to come which I like your perspective because you view life from the middle but its only the succumbing act the end what makes us recall so much of our youth. You may consider this your greatest poetic composition but brother there's still time lol. Great effing stuff man and very inspiational. Much love.....Peace.

It's only recently as I read more and write a lot more that I can actually pick out details and nuances that form my opinions and interpretations on other's work. Sometimes it's exciting to figure out whichway im going to go in my writes lol. It's a pleasure to read your work and this one is definitely a pinned work of art that you are and should be proud of.

My Dear Tony,

She answers, "Forever Young"

 No intermittence

But perpetual youth

Be my Peter Pan

Instead of arias

We'll sway to the Salsa

The fruits of our passion

Will erase the malaise

Together, forever

Forever young

Peace, Love and Rockets, my Poet Brother,

xox Larry
