River water lightly sloshes Around my limbs of ivory hue As gently I move between The worn, liquid paths Of faithful memory. The crown of setting sun Hovers overhead silently It's amber, velvet touch Sending fluid shivers Wafting....falling... O'er my weary spirit. There-just beyond twilight's grasp- Hanging on arms worn with years Drifts a silvered shadow Bearing the name of you. Through the river's aqua sprays I fight, fall, and fight again Trying to catch your light Within my net of stars. Haunted by devouring night My tired soul screams and bleeds Drowning within the swirling waters That once floated our love... Somehow I rise to the surface With the will to search The faded dreams of our yesterdays For the smallest tendril Of you. I will not give up...for our souls are one. *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

Krista~ You've got some liquid words here ... beautifully dripping down the page. 'Through the river's aqua sprays I fight, fall, and fight again Trying to catch your light Within my net of stars.' Gosh that's a pretty verse. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Liquids words indeed. This is so filled with imagery and heart that I will probably have to revisit it later. Thank you for sharing this. Will be looking for more of your works.  |

Me likes this... me likes this much... The sadness and a seeming desperation with the glimmer(Seems a little brighter than that) of hope at the end. "There-just beyond twilight's grasp- Hanging on arms worn with years Drifts a silvered shadow Bearing the name of you. Through the river's aqua sprays I fight, fall, and fight again Trying to catch your light Within my net of stars. Haunted by devouring night My tired soul screams and bleeds Drowning within the swirling waters That once floated our love..." WOW.. now those are some lines, "Trying to catch your light withing my net of stars" You've caught me in a web of words, for sure. Absolutely beautiful Krista.

Krista, WOW!! I floated along down the page with this beautiful poem. Excellent!! It reached out and touched me and this ..... Somehow I rise to the surface With the will to search The faded dreams of our yesterdays For the smallest tendril Of you. I will not give up...for our souls are one. GOD, Its BEAUTIFUL! Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died, and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |
