withstanding life's storms,
silent interludes
trembles of knees,
the beating heart-filled fueds
stretching to encompass
the feel of you
taunt of thoughts
that such feelings may come true...

the keeper of life
and emotion's host
resistant to impurities
of most...

pounding to set sail
such breathless seas of blue

* I have come to enjoy the brief yet
  touching style of this type of poem.
  I do not know a name for it, does anyone?

  ...I see it as half a sonnet, so I suggest,
  in Will's name, we can call it a "Shake".

"You don't have to go
You're the poetry man
You make things all rhyme" - P. Snow

Ok, a shake it is, if you say so!

Either way, it's a lovely interlude, can feel the warm sea breeze from here.

You did good, but you always do!!
