that alabaster look.

that alabaster look.

A Poem by jenniewren (J.W. Bouwman)

she stroked her dreams

with trembling fingers of desire

drifting her words along the rims

of half empty teacups littering

the shelves she kept her wishes on

her eyes flashed across the room

lighting upon cornered shadows

pretending their forms held the shape

of a lover who was merely watching quietly

instead of missing entirely

you've been busy for sure - you always paint a perfect scene almost - with so many things going on within - I see a woman rattling around - jumping at shadows that remind her of her past - shadows or memories perhaps - won't they stay a little longer? love the name too!

You have been busy, and I have been neglectful. And here you are writing pieces of art for me to hang on the walls of my mind that already need dusting because I have been absent. This was as smooth as they get with that patented JW rhythym that speaks volumes through the way that people think but don't dare say. Great stuff.

A simple and relevant look into the modern and classic world, well done

Getting lost in fantasy is good for the sanity... a soft and sensual write.

It is nice to watch and just take in, especially when unnoticed by the one your watching so intently.
