The earth is haunted by what is lost to the surface, after rain rises what's hidden -- {I think of you I wonder if you know -- if you can hear my thoughts} I write mostly at night near open windows the breeze of you caresses my soul I am seduced by your silent rhymes, your finger tip traces unfold my memory The dance, is spectacular; yet, sometimes -- inspires nothing Midnight can hold a host of shadows; they seep in at dusk and smolder in darkness long after I have called your name, {long after time stood still} I know the difference I cannot touch its ghostly face, nor can I step through the Van Gogh curtain of that starry night and bring your body back to mirror my reflection the butterfly keeper whispers from the meadow: {I remember being there} weeping Octobers hue -- sometimes in moments of stillness , I feel nothing is more powerful lines and shadows deepen, again seduced by your silence I wonder if you know the earth is haunted after rain The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket I lean against the wind pretend I am weightless and in this moment I am happy [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (08-03-2002 10:01 PM).] |

"I know the difference I cannot touch its ghostly face, nor can I step through the Van Gogh curtain of that starry night and bring your body back to mirror my reflection the butterfly keeper whispers from the meadow: {I remember being there}"   (smiles) Oh Lauren, I know how you feel, it is indeed haunted after a thunderstorm yet it is sooooooo beautiful too in its own unique way to watch the rain and the kaleidoscope sparkles in the drops and dew of the grass! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I know the difference I cannot touch its ghostly face, nor can I step through the Van Gogh curtain of that starry night and bring your body back to mirror my reflection the butterfly keeper whispers from the meadow: {I remember being there} Oh Lauren girl, this is poignant and I feel every word of your heart with this. Hugs to you sweets.  Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

I write mostly at night near open windows the breeze of you caresses my soul I am seduced by your silent rhymes, you finger tip traces unfold my memory ================ I wonder if you know the earth is haunted after rain ================ The whole poem is exceptional but the above lines are priceless treasures. I truely enjoy taking a tour through thought on a vehicle of your poetry. The view is so remarkable and so unique that one is left with so many new avenues of possibilities. Very much enjoyed as always. |

What you do with personification and imagery is more impressive with every write...what you write of leaves a trace on my heart every time.   Tell me we belong together |
