Sing To Me In Silence Touch not this love without the purity of your song Sing to me in silence where midnight lovers belong Rest it in the cadence of challenging words of trust Never shedding the feel of this lover's passionate lust Songs written in the eyes of angels with golden quill wings Harmonizing among the petals as each little flower sings Symphonies of tomorrows rehearsed in ballads of our truth As we reach from the heavens, the innocense of lost youth Lightning ovations tuning the keys to our yearning hearts Thunderous applause rising as the next verse merrily starts A song sung among the chapters in a book of little heart tugs Resting in the voice of butterfly kisses and angel wing hugs Sing out loud and I will accompany you in chorus of glow Repititious verse resting in the metered love of cherubs bow Piercing the hearts of two with starkissed lovers singing as one Resting in cresendo'd heights of tomorrows warmth in lovers sun Mark Christopher |

Mark, sing to me in silence where midnight lovers belong. But soft what light from yonder window breaks...romance in tune. WOW. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Love creates another work of art, this is beautiful and sings such a beautiful song. I just can't find the words for how exquisite this is. |

"Sing out loud and I will accompany you in chorus of glow Repititious verse resting in the metered love of cherubs bow" This is breath-takingly beautiful Mark ... You crooner you! It flowed with so many lovely thoughts and imagery, that you've left my head spinning as off to work I fly. Excellent piece my friend! Best wishes, /Kit |

Does only your pen speak, or are you this way, really? If so, whatever lady comes to you in your lifetime, she should remain with you for a lifetime, should she share the soul and song of poetry with you, my friend... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

This is beautiful! Granted, when someone asks me to sing silently, they're protecting their eardrums. *G* Great job! |

Mark~ she says swooning, this is so beautiful...in Texas they have some seriously fantastic thunder and lightning storms. I was there for two weeks once upon a time, and Texas is my favorite state (that I've been to so far) Florida is pretty cool too. -SEA |

Mark--Breathtaking song of silence... "Touch not this love without the purity of your song Sing to me in silence where midnight lovers belong" The flow and the sentiment all there, my friend, in this midnight pouring of your heart upon the page. |

a wonderfully composed verse is nothing without a great title to sum it up and catch an eye. and so you have done! i LOVE the title, especially after reading thru the verse. the most precious moments you can have with a person can be the ones where you sit and stare in silence. and you have beautifully captured the moment. *removes hat* my hat is off to you, sir. awesome one! Everyone's got their demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Sing to me in silence, Don't say a word, close your eyes, I will whisper to into this night, Sing to me in silence, Don't want you to say anything, I will understand, When you just sit quietly and listen to this whisper I say to me, Sing to me in silence, loved it.Hope you liked this.I wrote it for you. |

Mark my friend, I've just read this again, and it really is utterly absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. If there were a dictionary of all the superlatives they still wouldn't be enough. This is an absolutely a prize. Think the MBOOPAS, will love this too. Take care Marsha It really is perfect you know. Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
