(parenthetical love)

the pained chest
   (a love broken)
seeks only rest
   (with no words spoken)
the hurt spirit
   (more than a friend)
never to commit
   (lovers 'til the end)
the aching heart
   (a gaping divide)
from time apart
   (the day love died)

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

Parenthetically, a perfect parallel piece. I admire your creativity.

a word of praise from Meadowmuse
sent from the heavens for my use
her words to touch not just my heart
but give pure light upon every part

thanks Claire ...

I hate seeing good work fall victim to the Passionate Plummet - I can't believe this wonderful poem waited so long for a response - Three great poems in one is what I see... Nice work, MA..
