Ode to Keth

Stroke your voice through my soul again
Take me where there is no rain
Bathe my heart in beauty’s sight
Let me fly on the wings of night
Breathe your poet’s words through me
Speak the truth in lines I see
No more will I care what comes of this
All I need is there in poetic bliss
I’ll ignore tomorrow’s pain and strife
And stay within this ideal life
So take the stress and strain I fear
Let me stay by you right here
Bathed in poetic beauty I will be
By the power and magic of imagery

Marsha


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Hello Marsha

This was simply outstanding and your love radiated through each and every word.  I hope all is well with you.

Take care.....Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Great Stuff!  Oh yes.  Funny: i was picturing a poem just today with the words magic imagery in it.  Synchronicity, wouldn't you say?  The bond between you and Keth is unmistakable, and heartrending, like two relatives should be.  Betwixt the two of you, i  believe you have cornered the market on romantic poetic notion.  Wonderfully complimentary, Maaaaasha, to a pair of gifted writers.  And, M,
WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!

If I said this was good I'd be lying, it is splendiferous even if it is about me. Love you always
Keth

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

The moment I read the first line, I started laughing... remembering when Kethry let me chat away, knowing I thought I was talking with you and not saying a word to disabuse me of my notion. LOL

Which is to say... you both touch this soul... and it blossoms with your touch. *S*

This is beautiful, Marsha... for a very special lady. *S*

Marsha... Now that I have met both of you in person, I understand why you always call Kethry your sister of your heart...
I believe that you two are definitely soul sisters and perhaps you were real sisters in a previous lifetime...
~ Big hugs to both of you
