The highs
are higher than I’d anticipated
soporific

till you fall from that distance
then there is no measure

there is no expectation now
that my heart will not remember you
always

as we write this story
take a chance
love will be
enough

every dream
I didn’t dare to indulge
today’s crossword puzzle

pass me the pen

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

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


pass you the pen? I'm gonna handcuff ya to one...so that you put up a poem a day
Love the "no regret" attitude of this D...
every once in a while, we get lucky...and love will be "enough"
I do so love the way you "distill"

We wish ourselves beautiful ... and cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ... but the fall from the height.

So many chances are lost in life
I’ll take this chance with you
I’ll even write in ink this time
Written in sky’s of blue
Keep me in your love my dear
I’ll keep you in my heart
Hand in hand through life we’ll go
Never torn apart

Ahh, what a great Friday….love and poetry…yours.  

Everything is possible in the game of life

Duncan,
indulge me, and let me say what fine poetry this is. It breathes with its own rhythm.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Duncan,
Don't know how many angels are on the head of a pin, But I can take a chance, I guess.
A good write, and good read.

Love does so many things, and your poetry lays them all out, one by one.

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

Sooner or later the fall cause enough velocity to allow you to soar back up, so why not take that chance and start kissing the stars.  

Very prolific write and the way you structured your verses was outstanding.  You tied it all down and made it look simple when we all know it isn't.  Very much enjoyed.

so right, many chances lost in life, unfortunatally Who cant help ourself but passing them up Beacause of  a few key elements. Fear,embarassment... annyhting that hold you back. Its sad that such things can keep us from TRYING no matter how rediculas something might seem. I really enjoyed this poem.

The man of few words...

Pass the pen back, please...
and while you're at it, locate my muse,
would you?
She seems to be on haitus...
