Midnights Rainbow Prowling clouds crawling across midnight sky Whispering shadows of shrouded lovers bliss Peering eyes from the heart and soul of the moon Gleaming steadily as it watches the world amiss Tap tap of angel kissed stars join in the dance Strumming gossip for the night owls to unfold Moonlit cadence bursting in old familiar tunes As the pages of our love's story are sung to be told Quiet rythyms of beating hearts among the night Lend to the dance the twirls of passionate love song And tears of willowing paths from the forgotten light Resting among the notes of Venus where they belong Gliding eyes of souls sing in the breast of night Heaving to the ride of visions in this autumn eve Colors of love and trust drumming off given beat Searching for the pot of gold in which we believe Gentle arching beckoning to back the coming surge Rifs of pleasure walking on metered bars set all aglow Slow steps of changing chords cascading to the ground As the dew misted tears of relief bring midnights rainbow Mark Bohannan |

This valley runs deep... its no wonder we got lost there's a river on fire and its the one we have to cross To reach to the other side ... its gonna take a lot of faith that's something you dont see everyday... ~Thats Something~ James House [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 09-02-2000).] |

Mark this is strong colorful imagery. I particularly liked Quiet rythyms of beating hearts among the night Lend to the dance the twirls of passionate love song And tears of willowing paths from the forgotten light Resting among the notes of Venus where they belong.

I've read this a couple of times to capture the beauty and essence of flow that you pen and voila here I am with a comment for you... "Quiet rythyms of beating hearts among night lend to the dance the twirls of passionate song resting among the notes of Venus where they belong" O la la...this verse is sweet well actually so is the entire poem!
