Deep in the heart

I will be gone from these pages for a while.
I already miss you all, achingly.

Here is a small parting gift:

~*~
when a heart is true
love shall be most welcome there
tender resting place
that quiet place in one’s soul
cradles gifted love
~*~

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

We've hired Tom Boddett to keep the light on for ya'!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Bob darling heart, Have you any idea how much you’ll be missed? Possibly not but YOU will be very much so.

Farewell for now is not goodbye
It means you’ll return by and by
And when you do we’ll be here
Waiting for you never fear

Farewell for now is not forever
Your ties to us you can’t sever
And though you need to roam
You’ll return to your loving home

Farewell for now my good friend
This is the beginning not the end
When you come back as you will
We’ll be here for you reading still

Come back as soon as you can darling man, we will miss you, and we will miss your special words and your touch of magic

This is exceptional writing as you always manage to produce, I love it utterly utterly
Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

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

Turning a corner
Where the light is always on
Come home soon, come home
Where the hearth's fire is warm
Poet's desire always found

Dearest Interloper - Tears fall as I type this to you, for you have taught me much, especially to believe in myself. I wish you well and I will miss you more than you could ever know. Till you grace these blue pages once again......farewell. Chris

The thought of not reading you regularly isn't a pleasant one... whatever takes you away, I hope your absence is very brief. *S*

And this beautiful gift you've left just lets me know how much you'll be missed. *S*

Bob,
this heart cannot express the sorrow I feel at your leaving. Come back soon.

If you must go, go quickly
don't watch the teardrops fall
my heart is wan and sickly
and scarcely beats at all

I met you in the morning
you showed me how to care
and now the day is dawning
where I won't find you there

I know you feel my sorrow
that crosses time and space
but if on the morrow
you return unto this place

know, that I'll be waiting
upon these pages blue
I'll be anticipating
the day you come back too

Keth

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

Thank you for the lovely farewell gift. I in turn would like to gift you with a small poem that I have written for you.

~~~ *** ~~~

I don't know your reasons why
But your leaving makes me cry
As I sit here to think and ponder
My mind and thoughts do surely wander
Searching answers both high and low
Why must our Interloper go?
He's shown the way for all to love
He surely is from up above
He's shared his words and wisdom too
Dear poet Bob, we'll be missing you!

~~~ *** ~~~

Interloper, not sure of the reason for your having to leave for a while, but wish you well on your journey and look forward to your safe return.

I do hope your stay away from us will be very short. You always feel like a big warm hug of gentleness and tenderness. I'll keep a nightlight on for you.
