I hear that songs of love's glow turn heartbeats into scores. But I'm feeling like a writer whose words are less than more. My mind keeps spinning harder when her soft lips speak my way. and I call out for some inner strength to get me past her face. Her beauty is all seasons and her eyes are straight to me. But I wonder how to play my cards and I never speak my piece. With that curse breasting virtue I go bragging through a ghost and although my words are open they're not spoken from my soul. She says, "I'm pleased of you to greet." though in truth words can decieve. Yet I see her through a future past that forced my tongue to seize thinking she's light poetry the sun venus of my eyes but I choose my words so badly that her mystery straightway hides. If truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream waiting there behind a front of words in bound discreet Those words are now like old support still slipping through my head So I lie behind a ghost of words unspoken in a lonely bed. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to re-language historie [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 05-29-2001).] |

this came in silent gift from this , my lover's world a feeling of loud the voice held in kind unfurled round then round my heart the tender lines have curled but not, he'll hear not the love he thus churned and in this loss, this deepening dark, an ember's flame still burns... Thank you for this, Ethome... |

"If truth makes the best of love then silence is a scream waiting there behind a front of words in bound discreet" what an amazing verse of truth that is... and something I needed to hear today too. So yes..thank you E-babes. I'm hanging on your every word Even if you dont want to speak tonite It's alright I'm sitting outside heaven's door listening to you breathe [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 05-29-2001).] |

Well I am "blown away" by the pureness and certainty of the words you pen, and it seems that they seem to just "flow from someplace inside of you already formed in poetry", and I smile each time I see you have posted a poem, thank you for another perfect penning. ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

You...you sweet poet man...are ever a gift, a joy to my soul...you? with no words? IMPOSSIBLE...but I know it is sometimes hard to say the words locked behind a heart afraid to chance...take the chance.... |
