Array ( [sid] => 161426 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Tissue Paper Thoughts [time] => 2010-07-28 09:28:32 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I carry fresh thoughts of you in my pocket,
folded in pink tissue paper,
the kind we used to roll into balls, and call roses.
I number each wannabe-rose thought,
to file in pillowcases when my pockets bulge.

[192; I like the way that you turn the rustling into lullabies.]

I thought about stringing them together at the corners,
and hanging them row by row in my windows.
I plotted a map of sunrises through my house,
so I knew which room to start with.
But instead, I decided to never hang curtains.

[168; I like it when you call me Sunshine.]

I made them tiny, white cotton kitestrings,
and tied them to my fingertips.
I held them in the breeze just to feel them shake,
and wondered if they would find you,
if I ever let them go.

[127; I like how you never remind me that I'm scared of heights,
when I tell you I want to fly.]

I bought a book that showed me how to fold origami,
so that I could fold my thoughts more creatively.
I practiced folding paper boats,
but they sank in my bath water.
Maybe they were beautiful enough already.

[102; Because you're already perfect.]

I really like how you have woven in parts of your "Tissue paper" list. It added originality to this piece. Nicely done.

This gave me goosebumps. Your words embody the true essence of both softness and a quiet strength. I loved the imagery, the creativity... It almost seemed like a dream, wispy along the edges; a sort of living water-colour fantasy with a hint of melancholic breeze. Absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing with us.

Warm Regards,

~S.

The imagery this write brings is lovely...I for sure will be watching for more from you. I think you could write a book like DeLint just from this poem. :)
