The hand that gives is like that hand that takes
Gantuple grins and lexy laughter fools the fakes
Time to dance or ride off into the panavision sunset
Cactus free landscape might not be the best bet
But still, I have two hands, one in each pocket
And an orange with lunar pockmarked skin
And a strong desire to let the music go, skitter skit
From clumsy fingers and dexterous dreamin’

I think I am off now to the web dictionary to look up almost all these words.;) And I thought I had a good knowledge of the English language, I guess I have to think again.;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday, good to see you back.;)

A mind-stretching verse. Thanks. You have a real gift. Thanks for sharing, Roland
ReplyDeleteHeya Zuzana!
ReplyDeleteI imagine the dictionary couldn't help you with the neologisms. Sorry about that! I didn't mean to throw anyone for a loop with them. : j
Thanks, it's good to be back. My house guest has left, so now I can take the time to post.

Hey there Roland. Nothing like stretching to remain limber. : j Thanks for stopping by.
...and of course, all of this will be accompanied by your leather work.
ReplyDeleteDexterous dreams are the best, even if they're induced by opium.
Lighthearted laughing here.
Fantastic verse here, Alesa. I'm stumped for the odd word too and English is my first language but I don't care. It's wonderful and works well for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this! Wonderful!

If it weren't for the photo, I pictured someone playing piano. It sounds lovely in my ears.
I can imagine Bob Dylan singing this. Love: 'lunar pockmarked skin.'
ReplyDeleteOk, I apologize for the excess of smileys, but you all keep saying nice things and making me smile, I can't help it...

Howdy Kass! Nice to see you and your delightfully snappy comments!
Alas, nope, I don't work leather... I dream of one day having a smithing forge, but that will wait till I have a place out in the boonies.
Gleefully giving you a thumbs up! ; j

Hi Elisabeth! I think this piece is as much about sound as it is about meaning. : j Thanks for your kind words!

Oh heyo, Talli! Glad you like it. : 7

Wow Theresa, you were really close, that bit was actually about guitar... It sounds lovely in your ears? Neat, whose playing it? ; }
Hmm... You're right, this is not one of my better photo selections... I'll try to get a more pertinent one for my next post.

Ach Eryl! What have you done! Now I can't help reading this piece doing my best Bob Dylan impression to the tune of his 115th dream. : j Actually it's great!
Though, generally speaking, I'd rather inspire Nick Drake than Dylan in my readers, there was little chance of that happening with this piece. Heheh.
Always a pleasure to read you. : j
Now that I know it's a guitar, I hear something folksy played around a campfire.
