Rising dawn New-born fawn Misty softness of the morn. Spangled bright Deep insight Yields the secrets of the night. Morning tea You and me Mirrors ofthe sparkling sea. Crystal sheen Glycerine Soothing, gentle and serene. Afternoon Shades of June Brighter than the harvest moon. Born anew Honey-dew Shimmers in a pastel hue. Eventide Deep inside All the sorrows that you hide. Feel the pain Start again Melting almond in the rain. Come the night Candle light Ice on fire, translucent...bright. Opalescent Incandescent Shines a love-light, iridescent. Pools of fire Beam desire Burning upward, ever higher. Touch and kiss Perfect bliss In your eyes... such love... as this. |

Come the night Candle light Ice on fire, translucent...bright. Opalescent Incandescent Shines a love-light, iridescent. Pools of fire Beam desire Burning upward, ever higher. Touch and kiss Perfect bliss In your eyes... such love... as this. Again, loved this and the rhyme was dead on. Those last two stanzas are heart prints, of the finest kind. Will try to read more of yours, thank you. |

Eventide Deep inside All the sorrows that you hide. Feel the pain Start again Melting almond in the rain. I loved this, as you used color, touch, taste and smell in every line, could feel the emotional charge in this.... wonderfully done |

Good morning, Rod! Well, at least it is morning up here in my neck of the woods!  Your are quite the words smith! I enjoy reading poetry that is rich in vocabulary. This poem also had a lyrical quality that I especially appreciate. I would wager that you are as adorable as is this adorable poem!  EA |

It never ceases to amaze me that you are all so kind and I am both humbled and honoured to consider myself one of your number. I will always strive to be worthy of your company. It's rather interesting to be called "adorable"! That's a lovely word ...almost never used by men... and, once again I consider myself honoured. In point of fact I'm really just an ordinary guy trying his best! *Hugs* Rod It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. |

This is eloquence and beauty from the first word to the last. I could not choose a part I love best, as it all fits together so perfectly. A standing ovation is in order! Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

Caroline.....thank you! Your words mean a great deal to me. The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own. |
