Journey's EndAs louvres of this lover's moon displayed, afire into the night, transport my sighs from out this room enravished there on beam of light For love is nigh but on the lea, his voice I cannot bear to hear as footfalls find their path to me I thirst with knowing he is near As to my love the night doth plead and from my aching, wakes the sound, to lead his steps through moor and mead unto this lane, his search is bound And journey's end shall taste as sweet as any rare regale's impart for my embrace will fast entreat a feast beset my lover's heart |

there you go again, Claire ... giving us all a lesson ... perfection, as usual ... (I hope you're hounding your local University Press with this work ... you should be) |

Claire, Each day lately I find yet another one of these treasures you've posted at Passions...this is incredibly lovely, my friend...each one seems more beautiful than the one before. Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

I spread myself supine at your feet - a humble cur seeking only crumbs from your table - and ever tidbit you toss is a feast |

Claire, Your poetry is a treat Your words are a feast But then, Why do I always feel famished, no sooner than feeding myself with one delicious helping, ever wanting more . . . hunger... yes for more wonderful delicacies marked as 'poetic works'. My regards, sudhir |

After watching Shakespeare in Love again last night (*SIGH*) I can envision your poetry in a tiny leatherbound journal, handwritten, slightly smudged, carried in the pocket of some adoring man who cannot get enough of you. You have an incredible gift for words, soft and flowing like a stream. It makes me want to try so much harder to learn to write. ~Heather |

My very humble gratitude to each of you for your encouraging notes, my friends. ~ Claire M.A., Admittedly, I haven't done much "hounding" as of yet, but have had a few positive inquiries, so we will see. I keep thinking that my best work is yet to come, but isn't that generally the way of it? Thank you very much for your kindness. Sven, there is, indeed, much to be heard in silence. Thank you, my friend, for your sweet words... Michael, your continuing support is a treasure, to be sure. Thank you, dear friend. Martie, I am pleased to know that you found beauty in this piece...thank you so much for letting me know. American Princess, you write like you and have much to say! Thank you for reading, and take care! Butterflies, I am just glad that you have enjoyed what I have written...my earnest thanks for your very generous words. Bill, I am smiling. Thank you, most sincerely. Coco, thank YOU for so positive a response, my friend! Sudhir, your thoughtful reply flatters me to no end...I so appreciate you taking time to tell me what you thought of this piece. Oh, and Sudhir? Pretty SMILES to you today! Jaysun, yes, the very same moon...I am sure of it! I am pleased that you enjoyed this wee journey. Nan, you know, I believe all poets know hunger, do we not? Thank you, Nan, for such encouragement this morning. Alan...To be told that one can "feel" what we've written...well, I know of no higher honor. Thank you, in earnest, for letting me know that you felt something in this. (and again, Welcome!) ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
