. It’s dark clouds Stark October The storms are early For this time of year This cruel wind seems All in a rage to rip Last colors from the branches Cold rain pours down On any threatened suggestion Of possibly better frames of mind High waves Fiercely lash the shore Demanding penance It’s a now world for harsh words Hindsight condemnation Contempt ridicule and scorn And for nothing— None of it matters Never these words Excoriating attitudes It never has before Whatever the whether However whenever another After all is finally once again Said and done You’re still The only woman I ever told I love In my dreams . |

very nicely done sir... confessions of the heart are often like the storms, they rage and bring change even if others never see the differences. |

"High waves Fiercely lash the shore Demanding penance" I love this bit. For me it stood out the most - waves lashing the shore which was not at fault. Just like rejection of the heart. Enjoyed this. -Trina. |

Thank you both for reading The above was very much a Walking With Harvey poem: Harvey I have a good friend who thinks you’re stupid that any woman who believes in the things you do is void of reason or simply just not there Sometimes I can feel him roll his eyes He notes you’re rather wide He wonders why I waste my time We argue every day We still do occasionally . . . Thanks again John |

John, Harvey had his moment...and he will continue to do so. However, my friend, I did watch the weather's news... and you've been given an early winter's start. Stay warm. Oh yes...good stuff here. But I have come to expect only that.  |
