There is only tonight for you You of the suffering the alone the heart to hold two For tonight this can only be in the dimness of a shadow and a frail light for scant cold hours only will I feel again and wake to a morn without you near or even in the thread of my breathing the pound of my thought ocean of my loss wide sea cruel no less than the tides where I pushed all the bliss of you in unreachable deep There is only tonight safe darkness to cover my cry then I will forget to carry on as you perhaps or not for you wouldn’t tell secreter understander of me and deep thinker farewell |

Kamla--this feels so alone but strong, like you are. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

I shall not use the word again as it will only make you feel more ... Very nice poem you wrote there  A smile perhaps to add The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Kamla, This really touched me deep inside. You said: ocean of my loss wide sea cruel ....meaning something bigger than our own imagination can contain. Nice job, there! |

Excellent, touching expression, Kamla! Well done! I enjoyed this very much! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

My friend, may you find peace within your decision, and I wish you the strength to follow your heart. The sea is wide and cruel, but it also is capable of carrying the winds of friendship's love acros the distance. Welcome it, and it is yours to keep and to hold. |

Oh Kamla...hugs for you. This is so sad, and I can empathize. My thoughts NMay I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |
