The way it makes me feel the trembling within my twisted fate revealed to pure to not be sin The way it makes me shake and quiver with the thought my senses overtake the boundries they were taught Such powers now entangled in this mind of endless life where darkness once was strangled and dreams were those of light I shudder at the churning the sound that silence makes I lay before the yearning where once there was a quake The breath between two teardrops connected by a blink reflection in the mirror stops then gives an earie wink Lay down before my shadow as it walks the other way then stops before the plateau and kneels down to pray A light shown down upon it yet never did it fade then I saw reflections on it of me in my past days I walked up close to touch this as it turned and looked at me then took me down and placed a kiss and said "Look... you will see..." I joined my shadow with closed eyes and said a little prayer to send a blessing in disguise ...re-teach me how to care Open my eyes, my shadow shown upon the ground before me a warm and gentle breeze had blown within the light around me. Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

This is pure perfection! So soft and beautiful with a quiet sadness... The breath between two teardrops connected by a blink I loved this line...excellent work~ |

SEA ~ Thank you so much. Serenity ~ Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it  Butterflies_dont_cry ~ Thank you so much  I wanted to write something a little different, something off my normal beaten path... a bit twisted, a bit weird, with a funny turn at the end. I dont know, have to try some more maybe LOL Thanks again.Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

ThUnDeRkYsS~ Quite a nice write, my friend. 'Lay down before my shadow as it walks the other way then stops before the plateau and kneels down to pray' I particularly liked this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Bravo.....Hats off to you ThUnDeRkYsS. Not only did this piece have good meter it spoke to me in multitude! Excellent work, and I even love your quote! ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |

I don't think I've replied to your poetry yet, what's wrong with me? The meter is wonderful in this one, very nice flow. Kathleen |

Wow! I loved it!!! So many fabulous lines here... But I believe this is my favorite: my senses overtake the boundries they were taught Quite a new take on "chasing shadows"... I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. |
