I wrote this for Nikolette Sadness whose prickly poems always touch me and sometimes make me cry.

Passions run deep though oft unnoticed
In the old and the very, very young
Fates conspire and the endless sleep
Leave thoughts unsaid on the tongue

The passion of love the passion of hate
And the course of life incomplete
The taste of love at the crest of life
makes dying even more sweet.

To love and to lose ere the passion is spent
Leaves the heart with a grievious joy
And  life entwines the embrace of death
and makes a sustaining envoy

Kethry, thats lovely, and deep. For some reason made me think of my very old and sick Grandmother.

Kethry..You have convinced me:  There is more to Australia than "cooking on the barbie" and Crocodile Dundee.  There is Kethry.  Excellent.  Most enjoyable.  Hardrock

Kethry,

this is just fantastic. I have to save it. You have said so much about life and the psyche here.
Gasp!
