Waiting For Valentine's Hand parchment paper, gone ivory with age rolled slight and with silk ribbon engaged waiting, waiting, for one fair hand to unroll, and read, and know love grand… long rent of desire, a love's long ago lines were written of a beloved, just so a dream of a dreamer, for he dreamt well had fallen in love under a winsome spell in candle's light, with blackest ink he wrote his heart, till dawn pinked in glow of day, he pursued his search no salvation found, nay, not even church so he wrote his heart, and forth it poured 'till in black line his parched love soared he penned till beads of sweat dripped down for ecstasy in pure love he had found and in the night, the blackest of shadows his love came forth, in fever it glowed and he passed on, in his love most content only parchment hid his words, well spent… parchment paper, gone ivory with age rolled slight and with silk ribbon engaged waiting, waiting, for one fair hand to unroll, and read, and know love grand… 02.04.01 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

so he wrote his heart, and forth it poured 'till in black line his parched love soared he penned till beads of sweat dripped down for ecstasy in pure love he had found and in the night, the blackest of shadows his love came forth, in fever it glowed and he passed on, in his love most content only parchment hid his words, well spent… parchment paper, gone ivory with age rolled slight and with silk ribbon engaged waiting, waiting, for one fair hand to unroll, and read, and know love grand… =================== oh I do so like this ... the whole feel of it ... the very essence of it ... from conception ... to completion ... and it likes me too ... it followed me home ... so I shall put it where I keep all me treasures of grace ... in me library wrapped in lace  very cool write K, love that repeated verse. 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 ~VH~ |
