Message In a Bottle

---

~"From thence dispensed the simple sense, Come hither, thither thou doth wither, And while the smiles shalt cost sixpence, A stranded isle shivers, tense.." It shimmers 'midst the waltzing waves as emerald, once a thoughtful gift And every motion gently paves the wistful ways of all adrift Ere first reception comes the salt, between cork and rim a rift Of warmth and dampened wills to halt, an aqueous "what-if" So long, a song so soft among The faintest, quaintest, briefest lapse Of wishes, misses, air-borne kisses Alone to wake from sweet mishaps Upon an aging, yellowed page the echos of before Around, abound, the stencil stage; like silence, less is more-- Its destination sunk by hope and freedom far from shores Determination worn, eloped with seconds lost to lore. Behind the words unsteady wrist From fragile-feather glassheart spills The fervent, folorn winds and mist Of dreams beyond the windowsils: " (This is not a cry for help ...gave up on that long before If you're reading this-- Don't come to my rescue.) Please, please Anyone... Give me [a way out] (From remembering again--)"

Well, Jonathan, you've hidden the meaning, all right, but beautifully so. This one is going to take some analyzing. And it's so beautiful that I will come back to it. And Jonathan, the rhyme is amazing. Truly. mae

Wow... I felt like I was reading Poe. Especially with the 'lore' and such. Good job on old English. I had to write an epilogue for Great Expectations, and I wrote it like I was in 19th century England. It was so much fun. I'm adding this to my faves so I can try and figure out the meaning. All I really caught from it was wind, and ocean/waves, and such. But I'm trying to improve my analyzing skills, so yeah. This will definitely challenge me. Jen

I give this one a 10 even though I have no idea what it means... it's beautifully done.. lol! take care, margui

That was beautiful! As you intended, I have absoluetely no idea of what the poem means, but the wording and use of rhyme is splendid. The rhyming seemed so subtle, it wasn't forced at all. Yet there was so much of it, rhyming within lines, rhyming with different lines. I can't fault this, at all. I just really enoyed reading it, this is definitely being added to my favourites!
