Contract of Heart There is a contract etched on my heart's wall With outlines of gold surrounding words all Silver phrase strokes caress with purity of rose Azure eyes of crystal read as love quietly shows Waltz of teared release glide on heaven's floor Joyous reunion of heart and soul forever soar Treasures of gold radiate in the smiles of friends Sighs of captured love glisten as Luna descends Restful slumber across pillowed touch of cloud Arms entwined in free escape of sorrow's crowd Spoon of passion stealing kiss in drops of dew Finding our love as warmth of sun comes anew Rays of golden promise tickle below grains of sand Mists of ocean spray saturate palms of lover's hand Eyes of surrender reaching depths of two lonely souls Inscribing permantly the contract of our love's goals Mark Christopher [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 11-11-2000).] |

your words always offer visual horizons of splendor...may I stand in line to congratulate you on yet another masterpiece? So well done, so lovely to read...your words transcend barriers so that all may heed... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound.

MarkB~ Another piece of beauty from the heart of the devine poet. It's such a pleasure, always, to read the beauty from your pen. You've got a way of capturing each of us in your thoughts. This piece is so typical of the quality of your writing, Mark. A breath of originality is always breathed through your poetry. Thank you for not only being who you are ... but for sharing who you are. Love you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Mark- hi, sweet cowboy... 'Restful slumber across pillowed touch of cloud Arms entwined in free escape of sorrow's crowd Spoon of passion stealing kiss in drops of dew Finding our love as warmth of sun comes anew Rays of golden promise tickle below grains of sand Mists of ocean spray saturate palms of lover's hand Eyes of surrender reaching depths of two lonely souls Inscribing permantly the contract of our love's goals' i am loving this piece of your heart... and i KNOW that is exactly what it is. this is just so beautiful and heartfelt. i felt every word as i read... big warm hugs to you love ya, my friend, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

I wish to thank all of you with the total admiration of my heart for each and everyone of you. I am still VERY limited on time right now but doing what I can to remedy that so please know that though I am not thanking you all individually and not reading and replying as much as normal, that I hold each of you deeply in my heart with respect and cherish all that you are and all that you share with me. Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for your dedication and friendship to me. It does not go unnoticed. |

Mark my friend, I simply had to stop by to take this to bed with me. I need something wonderful tonight, I've had one of those days, well actually it was one of those evenings, but still. So I need to take this with me, because then the beauty can caress my soul. I suppose I could say that this poem was a type of soul fuel, and I've just re fuelled. So many thanks for filling me up. Take care Marsha |
