I dream of soft verses and gracious patterns of flowering branches.
I dream of poetry that touches the heart like a feather.
This golden verse flows loosely in meaning
Like Ophelia's long hair dipped in water.
This quiet verse has no rhythm or context.
The rhythm is silent, like an oar gliding.
The verses are weak, made of old cloth.
like sound and vapor, untouchable.
These verses are like autumn nights, with short syllables
The verses are like an autumn night, with short syllables and shadowy rhymes that charm and bewitch time.
I dream of verses as soft as a wilting rose.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.

Very pleasant. It has an ethereal quality. I think you may have written part of the last verse twice though.
