the night speaks the radio sings but they don't give me the joy that only your love can bring the wind whispers the moon smiles but they don't give me the warmth that you feel across the miles the leaves rustle the trees sway but they don't give me the caring that for tonight I quietly pray the clouds parted the sun shone but they don't give me the love that I need, waking up alone. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, this piece touched me... waking up alone has inspired many poems from my pen, as well. Lovely writing, my friend. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Waking up alone? Buy a cat!!! LOL  I think this is a very different side of you we haven't seen often. Sometimes being alone can bring the best poetry. Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Hi Sven.... Beautiful writing once again....I always enjoy reading everything you do, and this was no exception. Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Well, Sven, you certainly have a way with this lady! You always melt my heart with your poetry. If you're waking up alone then there is something seriously wrong with the women where you live. Either that or you don't let them see this side of you. Excellent piece!! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
