Always and silently my love silently, if my voice or eyes are undesirous you breathe phrase and I am spun in hurt, you are too bold for the delicacy of my belief Faith extends so far, it cannot draw the divide into sections I can cross I gape empty yes, I fail in the light of offering overhung with ambition and self sufficiency you storm and darkened, I run yet the journey is toward and not away profounded, the ocean maid consorts with waves, huddles beneath her sky undone This is not the walk I choose, safety lies among my memories, but oh how I am bled through I frail in my stride, my immortal, enmired in this loose definition of safety and wound, sweet dreamer, I’m ascending yet I cannot step alone perhaps I’ll turn, stay with the tides I know you reside in inspiration, and surely I can only long to follow © K.

Simply Awesome, really!! and I love this stanza "I frail in my stride, my immortal, enmired in this loose definition of safety and wound, sweet dreamer, I’m ascending yet I cannot step alone" I love it. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

She the silence of heart bespoken eyes of the ocean maid wanting in longing to touch the world of landed peace too strange unknown but the yearning her sigh as a single raindrop annoints her in the crash of surf the undertow safe its door to vast emptiness where the thunder waves were never heard before now she pauses half round the world not possible land unsighted unremitting clear crescendo as rythmn builds she to waters still ice flows palm worlds depths her domain still she hears my world my life my refuged home you cannot she cries waves of thunder steadfast reply undone eyes widen this moment thunder she hears not without but from inside [This message has been edited by He (edited 01-19-2001).] |

Even in its "Hall of Fame" state, from which you now state your writing has changed, there is an eternal line..."You are too bold for the delicacy of my belief" Far too often in my experiences, the "one" truly wants (secretively), but the "boldness" belittles the truth of those feelings... Not unlike the "Why should I care what my thoughts are when I'm alone at night thinking on such things...I've got too much to do and prove in reality...this can't be" Earlier work or not, and you having progressed or not, this hit home in the most poetic of specific ways. Great. |
