on the horizon of a fairytale

0 posted 2001-05-15 09:13 AM


You could extend your hand to mine
and know that in my heart, I have placed
a love for you beyond the reach
of isolation’s grasp

dare we envision a covenant without fear or
disquiet of familiar abandon

if only we were to hold true to our hearts
without concern, we could revel in reality, the dream
we have the courage…only to speak of.

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...

Annie,

I really enjoyed your posting. I had to read it several times to discover the flow of the piece. Indeed, if only we all possessed the courage to revel in reality. You might consider modifying the line structure or punctuation, for clarity.

Well done!

always, we must be true to our hearts.  Well done.  *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

I love this line in particular:  

"...I have placed
a love for you beyond the reach
of isolation’s grasp"

Few people have the courage to speak of dreams or reality, but you speak of "both and."  Thank you for this.

  Your words reach out, as a candle whose flame longs for gentle eyes to linger in its sway.
