Amy, How is this for a start to the story you now know?

Only for You


quietly resting
in the secluded recesses
of my soul
are memories
of you-of love

when I could feel you
without touching
talk to you
without speaking
-a lifetime ago

dreams and desires
gently-yet
slowly and painfully
gathered into
an isolated resting place

a resting place
from which
you now ask of me
to open into the
long lost light of day

from which I do
only for you
with outcome unknown
conflict now sewn
-only for you


Mark B.

well i dont know what the "story" is...
but i know the poem is beautiful
its got a soft, mystical or cyptic quality
about it...
like a sweetly kept secret.
very nice read...VERY
like the way you express your emotions
take care, jm

baby dont you work so hard
for this prize you've found,
it will all be gone-when you turn around,
cause nothing lasts forever anyway.

Very well written indeed Mark.  I guess we don't get to hear the "story"?

To Marina, SEA, Martie, and JulieAnn-- this is the second beginning of a life that I will gladly share once I am able to find the words.  I promise to work on this diligently
until the words hit.  Thank you all for your responses and for the curiousity.  I hope I don't let you down.

Just a quick repost for a chance for Amy to read since she was the one this one came about even though she is not the topic in it she did have an inspiration in it.

This is so beautiful...I'm so glad Amy
requested this work from you...I can certainly see why~

when I could feel you
without touching
talk to you
without speaking
-a lifetime ago

This stanza touched me heart and soul..thank
you for sharing it and thank you Amy for
requesting it~
