Still the Book To hold a book of poetry under blanket warm the music soft & low a cup of warmed tea thrills me. In black on white the words of the dead poets past rush my senses and it won't last this serenity. Odd thoughts collect here is a piece of Rimbaud & Dickinson right before me and I wonder In what manner will my friends' art forms take on or will a closet of notes and scribblings hold their legacies? For them, I will hope there will still be the books to hold, under a blanket warm with music low and warmed tea to thrill. ©KRJ 13 May 2000 Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

I love your thoughts here Sunshine ... there's nothing like a wonderful book on a cozy evening to soothe the soul and reach into another's world ... how sad, if their wondrous thoughts are hidden in a closet left unshared. Wonderful! Best wishes, /Kit |

Sunshine~ Oh, this is lovely and nostalgic. I share the marvelous books with dog-eared pages of poetry loved through many a sleepless night. I agree with you ... much fine talent here to be placed on the pages of a fine book of poetry to be handed down. Love this my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sun, I LOVE THIS POEM!! wonderful thoughts and perfect presentation of them as well. few things (if any) give me more contentment than reading poetry. thanks for the contenment found while reading this gem.  tkae care, jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving How one move just puts me by myself There you go just trusting someone else Now I know I put us both through hell ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me And I'm not sayin We ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let you get away from me. ~MB20~Leave |
