Nothing new
beneath the sun
each day is
like the other one
every day
a brick in stone
another day
of life's atone

Forgive me, should I kick the walls
and blasphemy down hallowed halls?

Take me on a finger's trace
untying bows of tethered lace
unlatching buckles-
leather's suede
longing tongue to taste of fate?

Longing, sweet...unanswered curse.
Still unsure of which is worse...
a-bed m'love, and call him mine?
or lick my finger in sublime?

Another night, I watch the moon
in gaze upon sun rise too soon
hunger's yearning restlessly
the need to feed the need in me.

Serenity,
Just beautiful. Just do it as Paula said.


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

*shaking me head*
oh man ....OH MAN
ya know ....if I get started I wont be able to shut up  
(and you already know that I know...yaya) ...
So let me be a good lil moth for a change and just say ...
gawwwwd I love the way you write!!!
yer so cool
me

Tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy

You know, this one has bite to it.  Not just the need but all that's behind it.  Love your style, serenity.

Ok...

Karen...I'M OFFENDED...I'M new beneath the sun...tch..

heh love ya

The word which springs to me is wistful..yep - that's the tone.

Me likes...

K says if you are encouraging constructive critiques how do you feel about trying your poetry out without ellipses?

So this:

Longing, sweet...unanswered curse.
Still unsure of which is worse...
a-bed m'love, and call him mine?
or lick my finger in sublime?

would become:

Longing, sweet - unanswered curse.
Still unsure of which is worse
a-bed m'love, and call him mine?
or lick my finger in sublime?

or

Longing, sweet, unanswered curse.
Still unsure of which is worse
a-bed m'love, and call him mine?
or lick my finger in sublime?

I know your ellipses are your personal style and that is cool - I'm just thinking in a poetic sense. Punctuation can be a nasty thing when it comes to poetry.

Tell me what you think anywho
