Closed Eyes - Open Hearts (a sonnet)

Honeyed thoughts of you, cross-legged as I sit
on the fringes of danger, the silence is split
each beat, each tick, loud drums the heart
together we love, and together: we're apart.

It's never enough, even in hands we do touch
If I close my eyes tight, I won't miss you as much
Even though you sit here, within my soul's grasp
I want you forever, but I don't ever dare ask.

It's divine inspiration, a prospect so daunting
But the yearning lies deep, sincere and haunting
when the spirit is foolish, the mind is too smart
To reach our heaven, we must open our hearts

If infinity is fragmented, we shall join together
each moment of down in a life-quilled feather

Jeff this is a perfectly penned sonnet.
I especially love the closing couplet.

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Jeff~

I can only sigh, what a lovely sonnet

~Sinking fast into
a ocean of you,
what if told you,
what if I said
that, I love you
do we dare to cross
that line between your~

(smiles) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I believe that eternity is always meant to come together slowly and if a love is true, it will forever be put together as one big picture of happiness beyond closed eyes! (big hugggssss) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Jeff darling boy this is utterly utterly wonderful. This flows of crystal streams of living light, flowing over my soul in a torrent of wonder. Beautiful writing darling heart utterly utterly beautiful. You really do paint with magic you know

You do know I absolutely love this don’t you? Of course you do. As always darling man this is utterly utterly perfect

Jeff hi there, see you have mum and I on the same night. perhaps I ought to rephrase that We are both here one after the other.

This is a wonderful piece of writing, as always You can really write, your use of line and language is especially good. I love the way this flows it is excellent, a perfectly poetic sonnet, produced with your usual style and grace. WELL DONR. Say hello to batman and Dulci for me, tell her I miss her writing.
