There is of necessity light and dark
Sunshine followed by miserable rain
There is resounding joy and blindness stark
And communication breakdown again

You speak of joy in love I talk of lust
Whenever we're together we're apart
You tell me stories that will win my trust
But you will never, never win my heart

You say the shadows reach to catch my mind
I say I'm trapped within my turmoiled past
You bid me leave and better future find
I say I like the dark, will make it last

You say why not see rainbows in the rain
I say us speaking breaks me down again

=====================================

the yin and yang of it all...
dont know what the challenge was...but I dig the response you wrote.
very cool Kethry girl...sometimes we make more sense when we rhyme.
Talk is overated anyway

Awake again I can't pretend ... and I know I'm alone ...
And so close to the end of the feelings we've known.

~Jackson Browne~

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kethry, this sounds so very sad, I hope this loss of communication doesn't apply to your feelings now, I think there are may that can relate to this heartache! (sad sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is sad but powerfully expressed! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Kethry, I'm not sure why, but this

"You speak of joy in love I talk of lust
Whenever we're together we're apart
You tell me stories that will win my trust
But you will never, never win my heart"

spoke to me...I like this very much

I really like the thought behind this poem and the comparison you made to reach the ending, Keth...

...and if he won't talk lust to you, call me at BR-549!

You touched my heart with this one. I know how this feels. This part speaks of how I feel.

Kethp my favourite auntie, how long did it take you to write this? Mum says it was hardly any time at all, just while she was on the phone. Well, don’t tell mum I told you but this is much better than hers, honestly! I think I might have a stab at it, I don’t think it will be as good as this but I will have a try. I think

It is very very good


Love and warm stuff
As always

at every pore with instant fires
